Officially the driest desert on the planet, Atacama is an all year-round destination. Summer days definitely get sizzling hot whilst nights keep a constant low temperature due to the altitudes. The Altiplanic winter consists of afternoon downpours with plenty of electrical storms. Sometimes heavy rains in January and February and snow fall during July and August.


REQUIREMENTS


Meet the minimum age 25 years old


A valid driver’s license and passport for each driver. (An international permit is not necessary to drive in Chile)


A major credit card in the name of the renter (MasterCard, Visa, Diners Club or American Express)
