San Pedro de Atacama is a small oasis town in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, built on an alluvial fan at 2,400 metres alongside the Atacameno pre-Columbian settlement of Tulor. The town functions as the main hub for excursions to the surrounding desert landscapes including the Valle de la Luna, the El Tatio geysers, and the Salar de Atacama flamingo lagoons. The R.P. Gustavo Le Paige Archaeological Museum holds one of the most important pre-Columbian collections in northern Chile.
