Atacama Desert | Frozen Lakes, Volcanoes & the Road to Argentina

Join us on an unforgettable journey through the Atacama Desert, one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth. From the abandoned ghost town of Chacabuco to the frozen waters of Laguna Diamante, from colorful volcanic landscapes to the vast salt flats of the Chilean Altiplano, this road trip takes us deep into the heart of northern Chile. Along the way, we explore Valle de la Luna, visit remote high-altitude lakes, encounter vicuñas and flamingos, and drive one of South America's highest international roads toward Argentina – the legendary Paso de Jama at over 4,500 meters above sea level. The Atacama Desert is often described as the closest place on Earth to Mars. But experiencing it in person is something entirely different. Endless silence, breathtaking landscapes, extreme altitudes, freezing nights, and unforgettable moments await around every corner. In this episode of our South American road trip, we travel from Antofagasta through Chacabuco, Calama, San Pedro de Atacama, Valle de la Luna, Laguna Diamante, Monjes de la Pacana, Salar de Quisquiro, and finally toward the Argentine border via Paso de Jama.
