| San Pedro de Atacama
is an oasis located 2,443 meters (8,015 feet) above sea level, connected
with the Calama airport (Chile) by a 100 kilometer paved road (62
miles). Between January and March, the so-called Altiplanic Winter, comes with occasional showers. For 10 to 12 nights each month there is an astonishing moon, which impels you to go for a walk. On other days, you can enjoy the darkness of the night which makes the stars shine as in no other place on earth. |
The climate is magnificent throughout the year, with more than 90% of the days being radiant. During winter (June, July and August) the average daytime temperature varies between 9ºC (48ºF) and 24ºC (75ºF); days are very pleasant, inviting you to relax under the sun. In summer (January, February and March) the average daytime temperature fluctuates between 13ºC (55ºF) and 25ºC (77ºF), reaching maximums of 32ºC (90ºF): a warmer climate tempting you for a good "siesta" before the afternoon explorations begin. |
