It also happens to be one of the driest regions in the world; in fact, some parts haven&#8217;t seen rainfall in over 400 years. So if you\u2019re looking to escape wet weather, you\u2019re in the clear.

If you\u2019re visiting in winter, expect freezing evenings. That said, winter in the Atacama is delightfully dry so if you\u2019ve got yourself a first-class sleeping bag and don\u2019t mind a little frost, this is a spectacular time of year to see the desert plains bloom with over 200 species of flowers.

The night sky during these months is crystal clear, so you can lay your head down on the dusty desert floor and get lost in the Milky Way.
