Pachamama By Bus , Atacama Desert Route is the only Hop On-Hop Off transport system available in Chile that can take you to see the best that the Atacama Desert has to offer. In 10 days we stop at deserted beaches, national parks, we cross the Atacama Salt Flat and the driest desert in the world. We stop frequently to take pictures, admire the vastness of this strange land, get to know locals and the scarce but amazing flora and fauna that manage to survive in the hardest possible conditions. We also take some time to go to the Elqui Valley admire the clearest skies in the world, taste some of the locally produced Pisco. We also visit 3 National Parks: a Rain Forest in the middle of the desert that survives thanks to the costal fog, a salty lagoon which is home to pink flamingos, and a sea life paradise.
