The hotel staff and guides are extremely helpful and friendly. I gave the bartender a list of ingredients for a cocktail I once had. She made it for me and I named it Atacama Sunset, as it really did pick up the colors of the sunset that night. She then put it on the daily cocktail special the following night. So, when you go ask for an Atacama Sunset cocktail.Angela Past Guest of Tierra Atacama
Chile’s Atacama Desert offers a climate of stark contrasts. Days are warm to hot and sunny, yet as night falls, the temperature drops significantly, providing cool relief. Rainfall is exceptionally rare, making the region one of Earth’s driest spots.
