Santiago<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year, towards the end of June, we booked this trip quite last minute for our August summer vacation.
\nIt turned out to be one of the most memorable journeys we\u2019ve taken
\nLanding in Santiago at dawn, after crossing the Andes under a pink-washed sky, it felt like entering a different scale of reality. From the airplane window, the mountains appeared endless, silent, almost unreal – the first indication that this journey would be defined by vastness.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770260527{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”11237″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left” css=”.vc_custom_1781704938938{padding-top: 68px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_single_image image=”11239″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770305068{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

There are some cities that are treated as mere transitions. Santiago is definitely not one of them! It offers a cultural grounding that many travelers skip too quickly.
\nWe spent three days in Santiago, in the Barrio Italia<\/b> area, a neighbourhood that felt like the right entry point into the city\u2019s rhythm.<\/p>\n

We stayed at Maison Italia<\/b>, which we really loved. Our room had a small terrace where we could sit outside and have breakfast. Sitting outside with a morning coffee, in the light August breeze gave everything a completely different feeling.<\/p>\n

The area we chose – Barrio Italia, wasn\u2019t just convenient for exploring Santiago. It had its own quiet gravity. Small restaurants, coffee shops, slow mornings and an atmosphere that\u2019s difficult to define but easy to recognize once you\u2019re in it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770314669{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11248″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11246″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1781771365413{padding-top: 200px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11244″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770324401{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Almost immediately after arriving, we left our bags at the hotel and headed straight on foot into the city\u2019s beating heart, Plaza de Armas. <\/b>Truly, walking is the best way to enter a place\u2019s rhythm from the very beginning.
\nThe intensity of the city was disorienting in the most beautiful way. Crowds, sounds and unfamiliar scents, everything felt immediate and alive. I remember being completely absorbed by it, as if the journey had already begun to shift something within me.<\/p>\n

One thing to always try and avoid is starting a trip with preconceived ideas based only on what we read online. Every place has something beautiful to discover, you only need to give it the right time, stay open, and use a bit of common sense. Santiago is a city that promises a completely different experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770337579{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11255″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11259″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”left-to-right” width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11257″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770347770{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What we loved in Santiago<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 San Crist\u00f3bal Hill <\/b>
\n<\/span>One of the best viewpoints over the city. Going up allows you to understand Santiago\u2019s scale and its relationship with the surrounding mountains. The view was breathtaking. <\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 Cerro Santa Luc\u00eda
\n<\/b>More intimate and atmospheric, almost like a hidden garden in the middle of the city. Perfect for a slower moment within the urban rhythm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 La Chascona \u2013 Pablo Neruda\u2019s house
\n<\/b>A glimpse into the poet\u2019s surreal and personal world. Even for non-literature lovers, the visit feels visually and emotionally rich. \u2013 Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes Elegant and quiet, ideal for experiencing Santiago\u2019s cultural dimension and taking a break from the city\u2019s pace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 National Library of Chile
\n<\/b>A peaceful and unexpectedly atmospheric stop. There\u2019s a small coffee shop inside where we loved sitting quietly, sipping good coffee and observing the everyday rhythm of Santiago life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2013 Evenings like locals: dinner, local wine & a classic pisco sour
\n<\/b>Evenings in Santiago naturally ease into slow dinners and relaxed drinks. Exploring the local wine scene and trying a well-made pisco sour quickly became part of our daily ritual. We especially loved Bocan\u00e1riz <\/b>in Lastarria for its exceptional Chilean wine selection, and dinner at Casa luz <\/b>Restaurant in Providencia, which felt intimate, warm and beautifully atmospheric.<\/p>\n

Arrival in Atacama<\/h3>\n

After three really nice days in Santiago, we took an early morning flight to the Atacama.
\nWe landed at Calama Airport and decided to book a transfer to our hotel. We used Transfer Pampa<\/b>, which we arranged the day before and everything was very smooth and efficient, definitely an easy option after an early flight.
\nThe drive from Calama Airport to San Pedro de Atacama takes about 1.5 hours. As soon as you leave the airport, you can already feel that the landscape is about to change completely.
\nWe stayed at Hotel La Casa de Don Tom\u00e1s<\/b>, which had the perfect location for us, within walking distance of the center. In general, San Pedro offers many beautiful hotels and Airbnbs, with options for every taste and budget.
\nWe really loved the center of San Pedro.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s full of restaurants, empanada spots and caf\u00e9s, offering plenty of choice while still keeping a laid-back, local feel. Having the volcano rising to the skies in the background makes the whole setting feel truly majestic.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770401910{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11280″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11298″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770411037{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Exploring Atacama<\/h3>\n

To explore the area, we decided to rent a car and do a self-drive. In our experience, this is definitely the best choice as it gives you much more freedom to move at your own pace and experience the landscapes in a more personal way.
\nWe used Chimpyway Rent a Car <\/b>service and we had a great experience with the team. Communication was very easy through WhatsApp and they delivered the car directly to our accommodation. The check-out was also done at our hotel, which made everything super convenient, especially since we were leaving for Bolivia right after Atacama (spoiler: next article). For us, it was definitely the right choice.<\/p>\n

On the day we arrived, we decided to take things slowly. We had lunch at Emporio Andino<\/b>, which was delicious and their coffee was excellent! It was the perfect gentle start after an early travel day.
\nLater in the afternoon around 4:30 pm, we drove towards Valle della Marte <\/b>for sunset.
\nEven the drive there left us speechless. The colors were already spectacular and there was almost no one around leaving the whole space just for us. That was the moment we realized how right it felt to explore Atacama at our own pace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We parked at the lower part of the valley and walked towards the viewpoint, completely alone in this surreal landscape.
\nIn Atacama, what stayed with us the most was not just reaching places, but moments like this where we experienced the journey in between.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11296″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11294″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom” css=”.vc_custom_1781772223997{padding-right: 50px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”11292″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770422461{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

During our time in the Atacama, we explored the area slowly and without a strict plan.
\nOne of the places that stayed with us the most was Valle de la Luna.
\n<\/b>Located just 10 km from San Pedro, it\u2019s one of the most iconic landscapes in the Atacama, and it truly feels otherworldly.
\nWe recommend taking your time here, at least three hours, if not more. We stayed longer, just to fully experience the silence and the scale of the landscape. When walking through the valley, between salt formations and sand dunes, you truly start to unravel the unique soul of this place. We ended our visit at Mirador de Kari<\/b>, included in the Valle de la Luna ticket, where watching the colors shift across the landscape felt almost unreal.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770452164{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”3\/5″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11290″ img_size=”360×540″ css_animation=”left-to-right”][vc_single_image image=”11286″ img_size=”360×540″ css_animation=”left-to-right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11288″ img_size=”360×540″ css_animation=”right-to-left”][vc_single_image image=”11284″ img_size=”360×540″ css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/5″][vc_single_image image=”11282″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][vc_single_image image=”11303″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”top-to-bottom”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770461340{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Another stop we didn\u2019t have high expectations for, but that turned out to be beautiful, was Rainbow Valley.
\n<\/b>Located in the R\u00edo Grande basin, getting there is part of the experience.
\nThe drive takes you through small oases and streams, and we actually found it even more scenic than the road to Valle de la Luna.
\nThe gravel road might feel a bit rough at first, but it\u2019s manageable.
\nThere\u2019s a small ticket booth along the way, and we appreciated that no advance reservation was needed.
\nThe rock formations here feel almost cinematic, like something out of a movie.
\nWe actually preferred the more relaxed atmosphere, with unexpected views and layers of color that make the whole experience feel very unique. If you have a bit more time in your itinerary, Rainbow Valley is definitely worth adding.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770475514{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11325″ img_size=”360×632″ css_animation=”left-to-right”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11323″ img_size=”360×632″ css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11321″ img_size=”360×632″ css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770510316{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Another experience that really surprised us was Lagunas Baltinache<\/b>, which turned out to be one of the most unique.
\nGetting there requires a bit of effort, including a long stretch on a dirt road, and we were honestly a bit worried about getting a flat tire after reading a few stories online. Luckily, everything went smoothly.
\nThe lagoons appear suddenly in the middle of the desert, with bright blue water contrasting against the white salt and warm tones of the surrounding landscape.
\nA simple path connects the different pools, and in some of them you can even swim.
\nThe water is freezing, but because of the high salt content, you float effortlessly.
\nCold, but very fun and completely worth it.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770524572{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11319″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”left-to-right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11317″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left” css=”.vc_custom_1781771492020{padding-top: 200px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”11315″ img_size=”large” css_animation=”right-to-left” css=”.vc_custom_1781772434219{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1781770543929{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We also visited Laguna Chaxa <\/b>and Laguna Tebinquinche<\/b>, both very different but equally special.
\nBetween the two, Laguna Tebinquinche was probably our favorite. The silence there was something else. You could hear salt crystals crackling and the smallest movements in the landscape. It felt almost meditative.
\nOne of my dreams was to visit Piedras Rojas<\/b>, but unfortunately, due to a snowstorm, it wasn\u2019t possible.
\nWe only managed to visit Laguna Miscanti<\/b>, which was still incredibly beautiful.
\nA good reason to come back and experience the Altiplanic lagoons properly next time.
\nThe drive itself was just as beautiful.
\nAlong the way, we saw several vicu\u00f1as and it was also one of the first moments where we started to feel the altitude slightly.
\nStaying well hydrated is definitely important here.
\nOn the way towards Socaire<\/b>, where excursions to Piedras Rojas and the lagoons usually begin, you can also stop at the Tropic of Capricorn sign. <\/b>It\u2019s one of those classic photo spots, maybe a bit touristy, but since it\u2019s not something you experience every day, it\u2019s still worth stopping and capturing the moment.<\/p>\n

Last day in Atacama<\/h3>\n

On our last day in Atacama, we slowed things down again and spent time at Termas de Puritama<\/b>, which felt like the perfect way to unwind. A glimpse of green appears at the bottom of the valley, almost unexpected in the middle of the desert.
\nThe thermal pools follow the natural flow of the river, gradually changing temperature.
\nEverything is designed to blend into the landscape, with a strong respect for the surroundings. It\u2019s simple, but very well thought out.<\/p>\n

That same evening, we had dinner at Ephedra Restaurant, <\/b>one of the most memorable meals of the trip.
\nLocal ingredients, a beautiful setting, and a very relaxed atmosphere.
\nThey also offer a taxi service, which was very helpful for us.
\nOn the way back, we stopped to look at the sky and saw the Milky Way clearly above us. It felt like the perfect ending to our time in the Atacama.<\/p>\n

After these incredible days in the Atacama, we were ready for another adventure, heading towards Bolivia. But that\u2019s a story for the next article.
