San Pedro de Atacama'daki gizli kalmış yerler

Hidden Gems

San Pedro de Atacama’s secluded sites range from the hypersaline Cejar Lagoon, where high salt concentrations allow for effortless floating, to the 12th-century stone fortifications of Pukará de Quitor. The Quebrada de Jerez provides a rare desert oasis with a wooded canyon and swimming pools. Geological exploration continues in Devils Canyon, known for its winding rock formations and trails suitable for biking or horse riding. In the village of Toconao, the central plaza features a historic bell tower built from local volcanic stone.
