most inspiring desert of the world Atacama Desert.

Atacama Desert, Chile. Chile's Atacama Desert is commonly known as the driest place on Earth and it's a rugged yet rewarding destination that offers travelers both thrilling adventures and peace and quiet amid its tranquil mountains, desolate plains and colorful, flamingo-filled salt lakes. Travelers usually use the town of San Pedro de Atacama and its cluster of hostels as a launching point to make SUV excursions into the arid expanse to explore the eerie rock formations, brightly colored lakes, and the aptly-named Valley of the Moon.The Atacama Desert is a plateau in South America, covering a 1,000-kilometre (600 mi) strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes mountains. It is the driest non-polar desert in the world.According to estimates the Atacama Desert proper occupies 105,000 square kilometres.
