Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Local Customs

Be mindful of local customs and traditions. Ask before photographing people. Learn basic greetings in the local language — even a simple hello earns goodwill.

Leave No Trace

Pack out all rubbish. Stay on marked trails and paths. Do not touch, feed, or disturb wildlife. The natural beauty of Atacama Desert depends on every visitor treating it with respect. Take only photos, leave only footprints.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Atacama Desert travel guide.
