There is almost one volcano for each of Chile’s 2,650-mile length. Squeezed into 100 miles between the Andes and the Pacific, some are pastel cones towering above the Atacama Desert. They stand sentinel over winelands, alpine lakes and forests, or crack the sky as icy peaks swathed in glaciers.

The Atacama Desert stretches across a plateau from the Pacific Ocean to the Andean foothills. It’s the driest desert in the world, receiving less rainfall than the polar deserts. Unique flora and fauna have evolved to exist in this hostile environment and in Uyuni there’s a human population, too.
