(Number of Articles Reads in San Pedro de Atacama: 40.513)

This town is of particular interest to foreign visitors on account of its fame as a place for spiritual enrichment, and because it is considered to be the archeological capital of Chile. Located in one of the oases of the Andean plateau in the Second Region, it has a population of approximately 2,500 and stands at a height of 2,438 meters above sea level.

Articles made by local people are for sale in the handicrafts market on the main square. Here also can be found the "Padre le Paige" Archeological Museum, with its interesting collection of artefacts from the Spanish conquest, and also of the Aymara culture.
