Parque Nacional Lauca - A huge natural park abound with herds of llama and alpaca, vizcachas (related to the chinchilla), and over 100 species of birds. The Parque Nacional Lauca holds one of the world's highest lakes at the foot of the dormant twin Payachata volcanos.

San Pedro de Atacama - A tiny colonial village amidst the Atacama that is the access point to the world’s highest geyser field at El Tatio.
