I recommend visiting - The Atacama Desert, Chile
The Atacama Desert is about as opposite as you can get from where I’ve lived the majority of my life. From Tampa, Florida at sea level and the 4pm showers to the high altitude desert and mountain vistas of San Pedro de Atacama, I couldn’t have imagined anything more different from my everyday existence. The world was colored in reds, blues and whites. The horizon seemed so far away. The only thing that was remotely familiar were the flamingos. I loved the eerie, otherworldly landscapes of the Tatio Geysers and exploring the water conservation efforts of the little nearby towns. But my absolute favorite experience was being bundled up, looking up at the cloudless night sky and seeing the Milky Way. There was nothing more thought provoking than seeing my little corner of the universe so clearly.
