St Pedro de Atacama


The town is ringed with volcanoes highest just  over 6000mtrs average 5500mtrs with daily tours leaving daily to wakk up to the crater rim.
be very aware if coming in straight from sea level get acclimatised or you will suffer badly.
there are tours everyday to lower altitude then return to StPedro which is at approximatley 2450mtrs.

St Pedro is the main hub for travellers to stop over and explore the Atacama and over into Bolivia.
The main street and plaza are lined with tour operaters selling there tours.

I can recommend Maxim Tours with our excellent guide Eric, see the pics on earlier blog.
Heading on a 4 day trip over to Bolivia and back Wednesday will post a summary when I get back.
