WHAT TO DO IN SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA?

THE DESOLATION THAT THE ATACAMA DESERT BRINGS TO VIEW COULD HARDLY BE COMPARED, IF AT ALL, WITH WHAT RAY BRADUBURY DESCRIBED IN "THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES", SINCE THIS UNUSUAL PLACE ON EARTH SEEMS FROM ALL ANGLES TO BE ANOTHER PLANET, ONE WHERE IT WOULD BE MORE LOGICAL TO SEE THE DESCENT OF A COUPLE OF SPACESHIPS THAN THE ARRIVAL OF A GROUP OF TOURISTS BY CAR. HOWEVER, THE ATACAMA DESERT EXISTS TO THE NORTH OF CHILE AS ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL TOURIST DESTINATIONS THAT SOMEONE CAN VISIT IN THEIR LIFE, AND THE GATEWAY IS A TOWN OF LESS THAN 6,000 INHABITANTS WHOSE EXTRAORDINARY POSSIBILITIES WE WILL RELATE IN THIS TEXT. IT IS SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA, ONE OF THE PLACES DRIEST ON EARTH BUT NOT THE DRIEST DESERT OF THE SAME NAME, A PLACE THAT APPEARS IN THE NEWS WHEN IT RAINS, BUT IS ALWAYS THE SUBJECT OF REPORTS, CHRONICLES AND REVIEWS FOR ITS TREMENDOUS ATTRACTIONS. DECADES AGO ONLY BACKPACKERS KNEW SAN PEDRO, BUT TODAY MILLIONS OF TOURISTS COME TO SEE FIRST-HAND WHAT THEY ARE TOLD, AND IF THE DAYS CAN MAKE US DOUBT THAT WE ARE ON THE SAME PLANET AS ALWAYS, THE NIGHTS ARE CAPABLE OF CONFUSING US. ENTIRELY BECAUSE IT IS ASSUMED THAT IN THIS WORLD THERE IS NO SKY WITH SO MANY STARS. BUT KNOW FIRST-HAND WHAT WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS CHARMING TOWN THAT FROM AFAR SEEMS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, BUT IS UP CLOSE IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING.

THE NAME ALREADY ANTICIPATES THE TYPE OF LANDSCAPE: ROCKS MODIFIED BY EROSION, AMAZING BLANKETS OF SALT AND A FEELING OF BEING SERIOUS ON EARTH'S NATURAL SATELLITE. THE MOST EMBLEMATIC ROCK FORMATIONS IN THE MOON VALLEY ARE THE TRES MARÍAS, THE CANYON, THE AMPHITHEATER AND THE PIEDRA DEL COYOTE. BUT THE BEST PART OF THE RIDE IS SUNSET: AN UNPRECEDENTED CHROMATIC WASTE FOR ANY VIEW. SO THE TOURS ARE AT 3:00 AND 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON.

THE WALK IS MADE UP OF A VISIT TO A SERIES OF LAGOONS CROWNED BY LAGUNA CEJAR AND LAGUNA PIEDRA, WHERE BATHERS CAN EXPERIENCE THE SAME FLOATING EFFECT THAT THE DEAD SEA OFFERS GIVEN THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SALT IN THE WATERS. GENERALLY THE SAME WALK INCLUDES A WALK ALONG THE SHORE OF THE TEBINQUINCHE LAGOON, WHERE THE HORIZON IS LOST BECAUSE THE UNION BETWEEN THE SKY, THE SALT AND THE WATER IS BEYOND THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE HUMAN EYE.

BUT ALSO THE PROMENADE ITSELF LEADS TO THE QUEBRADA DE JEREZ, A PLACE FULL OF ANCIENT PETROGLYPHS FROM PREVIOUS CIVILIZATIONS WHERE THE CURRENT INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN OF SAN PEDRO CAN DEVELOP THEIR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION OF FRUIT TREES.

THERE THE QUANTITY OF PETROGLYPHS IS UNIQUE. ANCIENT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE LEFT EVIDENCE ON ROCK OF THEIR COEXISTENCE WITH MONKEYS, CAMELIDS AND DOGS. & NBSP;

THOSE WATERS FILL UP TO EIGHT POOLS OF THE PURITANA RIVER AND EVERY SECOND THAT REMAINS SUBMERGED IS UNFORGETTABLY PLEASANT.

INHOSPITABLE LIKE THAT DESERT. IN ADDITION TO AMAZING REMAINS OF PRE-COLUMBIAN STRUCTURES, TOURISTS WILL BE ABLE TO COME ACROSS EVIDENCE OF THE STRUGGLES BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL AMERICANS AND THE FIRST SPANIARDS WHO ARRIVED AT THE PLACE. & NBSP;

THERE TOURISTS CAN SEE & NBSP; HOW STEAM EMERGES FROM THE EARTH'S CRUST IMITATING THE BREATHING OF A DRAGON THAT SLEEPS IN ITS ENTRAILS. THE PLACE ALSO HAS FANTASTIC THERMAL POOLS THAT INCREASE THE TOURIST ATTRACTION OF AN AREA SO RICH IN NATURAL RESOURCES THAT ONLY THE CONTINUOUS VISIT OF TOURISTS HAS MAINTAINED IT AS AN AREA OF RECREATIONAL AND NATURAL INTEREST.

HERE THE DESERT ALSO COMES ALIVE THANKS TO THE QUEPIACO RIVER, WHERE AN ABUNDANT FAUNA SHOWS ANOTHER SIDE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE PLACE. IT IS A WALK THROUGH THE PERFECT IDYLLIC SPOT, AN INTIMATE EXPERIENCE ONLY INTERRUPTED IF BY ANY FAMILY OF SHEPHERDS IN THE DISTANCE ON THE HORIZON. THE SAME ROUTE LEADS TO THE AGUASCALIENTES SALT FLAT, WHERE THE LAGOONS HAVE THE QUALITY OF GATHERING MORE COLORS ON THEIR WATERS THAN ONE IS SUPPOSED TO SEE. & NBSP;

IN THE END, THE CONCLUSION OF A TRIP TO SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA WILL NOT BE EXTRA PLANETARY IN REAL TERMS, BUT IT WILL BE ABOVE THE LIMITS OF WHAT WE BELIEVED POSSIBLE ON OUR BELOVED PLANET EARTH.
