Northern Green Islands and the Atacama Coastal Desert
Coastal havens that come together in a magnificent place to give life to one of the most striking marine zones and climate borders of Chile and the continent, a place possessing numerous islands and varied geographical units of surprising formation and abundant coastal natural resources as well as cultural treasures, make it one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Chile and the Pacific coast.
You will know one of the areas with the greatest diversity of species in the Pacific coasts “the borders of the Green North of Coquimbo and the beginnings of the world’s most arid desert: the Atacama.” We will travel through attractive landscapes and settlements of former pastoralists, miners and farmers until we reach the coast of the most experienced fishermen of Chile “Los Changos, Choros and Camanchacas.” We will sail the islands Gulls, Choros and Damas to discover its beautiful beaches, geomorphology and diversity of plants and cacti along with its attractive fauna of penguins, dolphins, seabirds, otters, and sea wolves. You will discover islands of great beauty with a fascinating prehistory that gave life to the first and last rafts made with sea wolf skin.
