The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are. – Samuel johnson

Located in the Andes mountains in the far north of Chile

How to get there:

You can easily reach Lauca National Park but you have to get to closest town named Arica first. You can get there by plane from Santiago with LanChile or Sky Airlines which offers daily flights. You can also share a taxi ride or a collectivo. Once you are in Arica, you can rent a car at the airport and drive yourself, book a tour from one to three days through one of the travel agencies or hire a taxi.
