The coastal paradise of Atacama
Bahía Inglesa, one of the favorite destinations in the Atacama Region, stands out for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Resorts such as La Piscina and El Chuncho are ideal for families, thanks to their calm waves and pleasant temperature, which allow you to swim safely. The destination offers a wide range of nautical activities, such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, kayaking, and diving.
It is also an excellent starting point to explore the spectacle of the Flowering Desert, a phenomenon that carpets the arid landscape with colors after unusual rains. Admire its unique environment on foot or by bicycle, and combine coastal relaxation with adventure in the driest desert in the world.
