San Pedro de Atacama is an ideal place for historical buffs because it is full of incredible archeological treasures. This is where a Jesuit priest from Belgium spent many years uncovering the secrets of the Atacameno Indians. The museum is a popular destination for travelers worldwide with several fascinating exhibits. San Pedro’s scenery is sensational and includes the high peaks of the Andes Mountain range as an impressive backdrop to the town.

Easter Island, whose global name came from a Dutch explorer in 1722, still holds visitors in thrall. Rapa Nui, as the natives called it, literally meaning “Navel of the World”, is one of the most remote and populated islands in the world. Long ago, its inhabitants began building the monolithic statues known as Moai; today anthropologists are still not sure why or what the statues are meant to signify. At any rate, this destination is both exotic and mysterious. During this tour you will also spend two nights in Santiago, a fascinating and modern city.

The native ruins of San Pedro de Atacama are attracting more and more visitors who wish to learn about the mysterious pre-Colombian cultures. The desert city is also popular for activities including sand-boarding and stargazing. The geysers of El Tatio, the Valley of the Moon, the historic town of Toconao, and the mountain hot springs of Puritama are just a few of the natural and historic wonders located within this arid desert. Leaving Atacama, you will travel to the intriguing and magical Easter Island, discovered on Easter Sunday nearly three centuries ago. This Island features more than 600 enigmatic Moai statues, whose original purpose and meaning is still unknown.
