Australia’s longest running Latin American tour operator, Contours Travel, has a new, limited-time offer to visit Chile’s Atacama Desert. For three-night, all-inclusive stays at the Alto Atacama during January and February 2019, guests will receive a saving of $550 per person twin-share, if booked before October 31, 2018.

Blended into the terracotta coloured ridges of the Atacama Desert is the Alto Atacama, a five-star luxury desert lodge and spa resort. Inspired by local village architecture, the Alto Atacama provides guests with a unique experience, complete with a pool and spa and rooms that offer wide views of the Catarpe Valley.

The Atacama Desert is the driest desert in the world, only receiving an average of 15mm rain per year, almost guaranteeing guests a rain-free stay. Despite its arid climate, the fascinating Atacama Desert is teaming with life from its indigenous cultures and ancient ruins to its wild and vibrant flora and fauna. The Desert is also known for its eerie lunar landscapes, perfect for stargazing, vast salt lakes, active geysers and striking geological formations.

The Alto offers over 30 daily excursions and tours to immerse travellers in the unique landscape including:

* A trip to the Valley of the Moon – A sanctuary of nature and geology, this iconic geological formation is a highlight of the region

* A tour of the Salt Lakes, taking guests to two fresh-water pools and ending on the banks of the turquoise lagoon of Tebinquinche.

* A trip to El Tatio Geysers, an active geothermal field sitting at 4321 metres above sea level.

A three-night, all-inclusive stayat the Alto Atacama begins from $6006 per couple, including the early-bird discount which represents a saving of $1100 per couple. Guests must book before October 31, 2018, and must stay during January or February 2019.
