Most beautiful places for stargazing-Atacama Desert, Chile by spacerip
A picturesque oasis village - turned tourist hot spot - San Pedro de Atacama, located in northern Chile, is one of the best places in the world for stargazing. The Atacama Desert's crystal-clear skies and dry climate allows observers to view celestial wonders that are impossible to see in other parts of the world. Few will forget the sight of some of the astronomical treasures of the southern hemisphere, such as the 'Southern Cross', which includes a cluster of sparkling young stars aptly named the 'Jewel Box' ef tours.
SPACE offers 'star tours' which are ideal for the amateur astronomer. The tour begins with a guide to the constellations of the southern hemisphere, visible to the naked eye; on a good night the entire zodiacal arc is able to be seen. The second part of the tour takes place in a large park of telescopes, where you can observe the moon (and even photograph it through the telescope), Mars and Saturn as well as a multitude of breathtaking nebulae

Chile's Atacama Desert: Explore San Pedro de Atacama
Few places are as inhospitable or extreme as Chile’s Atacama Desert.
As the driest non-polar region in the world, less than 4mm of rain falls here each year.
Over 100,000km2 of torrid and barren land, which ripples and swells in places like a geographical accordion.
This is Mother Nature at her harshest.
But, even here, in the depths of the Atacama where life seems unwelcome, culture has thrived for thousands of years.
Once conquered by the Incan Empire, the Atacama Desert is revered by many as the spiritual heart of the country.
In remote regions of this arid expanse, indigenous communities still host ritualistic ceremonies of gratitude to Pachamama – the Earth Goddess.
Will she permit life to inhabit the Atacama Desert for centuries to come? Forging a legacy against the odds?
In towns like San Pedro de Atacama, which could be mistaken for a mirage, travelers gather to explore the region’s natural beauty and to indulge in local culture.
Here, white-washed buildings line cobbled streets, offering a welcomed refuge from the hot, dusty desert beyond. Welcoming locals are more than happy to share their oasis with inquisitive visitors.
Traditional melodies emanate from the town’s open windows, as artisan craftspeople ply their historic trades.
The town’s streets are abuzz with the exchange of the Atacama Desert’s stories – stories of mystery and of myth.
What do you hear from her enchanting call?

Floating in the Salty Lagoons in the Atacama Desert | San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Today we decided to take a tour around the different lagoons of the Atacama Desert. We went to our first salt water lagoon in the complex of Laguna Cejar. This lagoon was crazy - it burnt your eyes and you couldn’t sink! After we left we headed to Ojos del Salar, where we jumped off the cliffs into the lagoon and it was freezing. Our planned sunset drinks at our last lagoon was… well rained out as there was a massive storm! When we headed back to town all the power was out!

Atacama Desert, Chile: Charming Little Town of San Pedro de Atacama
Would you believe (yes you would) that I completely forgot to upload one of the most important Atacama Desert Videos, all about San Pedro? Duh...
That's what happens when one comes home with over seven hours of video to put in order, edit and upload. Unfortunately, I had to reimport all the clips, reformat, yadda-yadda and was unable to smooth out the bumpy parts and edit the way I would have preferred, On a positive note though, the video does show restaurants, tour operators, hotels, hostels, etc.
Hope you enjoy San Pedro as much as we did.
ADVENTURE in the DRIEST PLACE on EARTH (San Pedro de Atacama in Chile)

NOX ATACAMA | 8K
The Atacama desert is home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world. A view to the nightsky rewards with uncountable numbers of stars and fantastic nebulas in one of the most quiet a empty places on earth. Not a single noise distracts from the grand show the nightsky has to offer.
The environment is harsh though. Filmed in freezing temperatures, altitudes up to 5000m/16000ft, salt lakes and icy slopes, the Atacama is not friendly to life and equipment. Though it provides without doubt for epic and vast vistas of one of the greatest landscapes on earth.

With high altitude plateaus, clear skies and low humidity, Chile is becoming a popular destination with the international scientific community and is home to many of the world’s most powerful observatories.
High up In the Atacama Desert, 5,000m (16,400ft) above sea level is one of the world's largest astronomical projects - the Atacama Large Millimetre/sub-millimetre Array (Alma).
The project uses radio telescopes to pick up wavelengths of light that are invisible to the human eye and may help reveal the origins of the Universe.

A little more about San Pedro De Atacama from Wikpedia:
San Pedro de Atacama is a Chilean town and commune in El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region. It is located east of Antofagasta, some 106 km (60 mi) southeast of Calama and the Chuquicamata copper mine, overlooking the Licancabur volcano. It features a significant archeological museum, the R. P. Gustavo Le Paige Archaeological Museum, with a large collection of relics and artifacts from the region. Native ruins nearby now attract increasing numbers of tourists interested in learning about pre-Columbian cultures.
San Pedro de Atacama grew, over centuries, around an oasis in the Puna de Atacama, an arid high plateau. Its first inhabitants were the Atacameños, who developed basketworks and ceramic pottery crafts that can be now be appreciated by tourists in the several souvenir shops as typical products of San Pedro de Atacama.
It was part of Bolivia since independence until Chile claimed ownership during the War of the Pacific.
According to the 2002 census of the National Statistics Institute, San Pedro de Atacama had 4,969 inhabitants (2,928 males and 2,041 females). Of these, 1,938 (39%) lived in urban areas and 3,031 (61%) in rural areas. The population grew by 75.6% (2,140 persons) between the 1992 and 2002 censuses.
As a commune, San Pedro de Atacama is a third-level administrative division of Chile administered by a municipal council, headed by an alcalde who is directly elected every four years. The 2008-2012 alcalde is Sandra Berna Martínez.
Within the electoral divisions of Chile, San Pedro de Atacama is represented in the Chamber of Deputies by Marcos Espinosa (PRSD) and Felipe Ward (UDI) as part of the 3rd electoral district, (together with Tocopilla, María Elena, Calama and Ollagüe). The commune is represented in the Senate by Alejandro Guillier Álvarez (PRSD) and Pedro Araya Guerrero (Ind.) as part of the 2nd senatorial constituency (Antofagasta Region).
The town lies at an average of 7,900 feet (2,400 m), and visitors often experience mild altitude sickness such as dizziness, lethargy and headaches.[4] The local climate is extremely dry and mild, with daytime temperatures between 25–30 degrees Celsius (77–86 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer (December to February) and 18–25 °C (64–77 °F) in the winter (June to August). Nighttime temperatures routinely drop below 0 °C (32 °F) and can reach as low as −10 °C (14 °F) in the winter.
Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as cold desert (BWk)[5] for an isotherm of the mean yearly temperature of lower than 18 °C (64 °F), or as a hot desert (BWh) for an isotherm of the coldest month's mean temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or lower.
Atacama Desert & Santiago
Having crossed the border from Bolivia into Chile my first stop was San Pedro de Atacama. The desert there is one of the ideal star gazing spots and it's absolutely worth heading out on an evening tour.
A short flight south brings you to Santiago, a vibrant city with lots going on. It had a European vibe about it, which is probably why I enjoyed it so much.
A short bus ride from Santiago out towards the coast you'll find Vina del Mar and Valparaiso. Valparaiso is an amazing town with lots of culture and brilliant street art, an absolute must see if you've landed in Santiago.
