What makes a good sunset in San Pedro de Atacama?
San Pedro de Atacama sits at 2,400 meters in the driest non-polar desert on Earth. The thin, dry air means the atmosphere is almost perfectly transparent and colors at sunset are more saturated than almost anywhere else. Valle de la Luna is the main sunset destination: salt and clay formations shaped by wind erosion turn every shade of orange, amber, and purple as the light shifts. The snowcapped volcanoes to the east, including the 5,916m Licancabur, catch alpenglow after the western sky fades.
What time is sunset in San Pedro de Atacama tonight?
San Pedro de Atacama sunset ranges from around 5:40 PM in June to 8:30 PM in December. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
