Around 2000 people live in San Pedro de Atacama. However, you can guess from these multinational faces that San Pedro is a favorite touring base for visitors.

Tourists who venture on day trips out from San Pedro can encounter steaming geysers, and lunar-like landscapes, blissful hot springs, huge lagoons teeming with flamingoes.

The village boasts over a dozen hotels, two dozen youth hostels, and a bus station, plus several restaurants and coffee houses.
