The sheer desolation of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is what makes this harsh environment so awe-inspiring. This is the world’s driest desert, with some areas not having had rain for over 150 years. The landscape is that of rocky mountains, salt flats, thermal pools, geysers, marshes, lagoons and towering volcanoes. With clear, unpolluted skies and utterly dramatic landscapes this is a dream destination for photographers.

 WHEN TO VISIT ARGENTINA and chile

VALDES PENINSULA: For Orcas beaching the best time to visit is in March, April and early May.

IGUAZU FALLS: September to October is best (luckily this coincides with the best time to visit the Brazilian Pantanal). Rain is rare, humidity is low and it is not too hot.
