Lonely Planet writer Greg Benchwick visits the desert outpost of San Pedro de Atacama in Northern Chile. Located smack-dab in the middle of the world’s driest desert, San Pedro is an adobe oasis that has been inhabited since pre-Columbian times. Today, it has become Chile’s number-one traveler destination, and for good reason: it’s a perfect jumping-off point to some of this desert’s most remarkable sights – the world’s highest geyser field, a massive sand dune, alpine lagoons and high …

    7. There are adventuresome Americans (from the USA) out there traveling. We’ve met quite a few, I think per-capita Americans are lower than many countries. Generalizations are not cool.

    8. made it to san pedro last year on an eco-tourism trip. it was amazing, of course, but very tourist driven. if you want the truest experience possible, be very selective with your guide choices. and if you are bold enough, do some exploring outside the confines of town and hired guidance.

    11. Why you got to say bad things about South Americans on a great video about Chile. The Americas have a lot of different Americans and your sweeping generalizations about the Americas sound pretty ignorant and untraveled

    12. There’s actually alot of Americans here in Singapore, though I won’t say they are the most tolerant or ‘culturally educated’ tourists I’ve met.

    19. was there about 2 years ago … awesome place … awesome parties … and ahh the awesomely sexy atmosphere for hooking up with foreign tourists (I LOVE FRENCH WOMEN) …

    20. One of the best ways to get around is bike rental … although they’re sometimes unreliable … 1000 odd pesos for three hours (which is more than enough time to ride to Valle de Los Muertos) or an old indian fort is probably one of the best ways to get around …

    A tip though … stock up on long life products and beer from Antofagasta before you go there … as local stores can be fairly pricy …
