For arrive to San Pedro, you need to take a flight to El Loa Airport in Calama. There are no direct flights, meaning you will need to make a stopover in Santiago before reaching Calama.

For the astronomical tour there are some factors that you should consider such as:

1) The tour is not carried out on full moon days due to light contamination, so it is best to check the moon before booking your trip.

2) In January and February we mainly experience what we call the altiplano winter, the rainy season in San Pedro, so these are generally months with more clouds, which hinders the operation of the astronomical tour.

Yes, there are pharmacies, but we recommend that you bring your personal medications with you, as many medicines that don't require a prescription in Brazil do require one here in Chile. The nearest hospital is in Calama, and San Pedro de Atacama has a health center with medical service available from Monday to Friday.

From Calama to San Pedro de Atacama, it's approximately 1.5-hour transfer. You can book round-trip transfers directly at the airport, or you can book them with Chile Sunrise Tours as part of your tour package.

Each park has a different entrance fee. At Chile Sunrise Tours, we include the cost of all entrance fees in your tour package.

In general, for all the tours we offer, it is important to have sunscreen, sunglasses, water, and a hat. Special attention is required for the tours in San Pedro de Atacama and Salar de Uyuni, as they are at high altitudes and the solar radiation is much higher. Always pay attention to the specifications of each tour and the need to bring extra money for certain activities (especially in Santiago).

The seasons in Salar de Uyuni are divided into well-defined periods:

• The Dry Season: Between May and November, the salt flat offers a view resembling a vast white ocean, with an endless horizon and the possibility of taking fun perspective photos.

• The Rainy Season: Between December and March, due to constant rain on the salt flat, some areas, like Incahuasi Island, may not be accessible. However, during this time, we can witness water accumulation on the salt flat, which perfectly reflects the sky, creating the illusion of standing on a giant mirror.

It's quite relative to recommend the best time of year to visit San Pedro de Atacama; tourism here is year-round, so it depends largely on your availability. We recommend the mid-seasons, like spring and fall, when temperatures are neither too cold nor too hot.

San Pedro de Atacama is considered the driest desert in the world, with temperatures varying depending on the time of day and the tour you're taking. Therefore, we recommend bringing layers of clothing. From shorts and a t-shirt to a base layer, a very warm jacket, and a windbreaker for the colder and windier tours. It's also important to bring comfortable hiking boots for most tours.

With just 3 full days, you can experience the main tours. We are located at an altitude of 2,300 meters, so it is important to allow for an acclimatization period. If you're more of an adventurous type, up to 7 days would allow you to explore San Pedro de Atacama in greater depth or even add the crossing to Salar de Uyuni to your travel itinerary.
