Chile’s Atacama Desert, paradise for sand dune hiking and stargazing, is world’s driest

 

Crescent-shaped sand dunes rise and fall steeply, some up to 100 metres (330 feet) high. The sun beats down on this part of northern Chile and it is exhausting to walk. Your boots sink deep into the golden sand. But it is worth it, when you reach the ridges of the sand mountains near Copiapó and are rewarded with the sight of a dune landscape that never seems to end.
