Insider tips
- ★Arrive in Calama a day early to acclimatise to altitude before the tour begins—soroche (altitude sickness) is common above 4,000m
- ★Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses; UV exposure is intense at high altitude and the desert reflects radiation
- ★Pack layers—mornings are freezing, afternoons warm, and nights drop well below zero even in summer
