Description

This tour operates on specific and limited dates, since the Blooming Desert only appears during certain times of the year, and not every year. We recommend booking your spot as early as possible to ensure availability.


Experience an unforgettable adventure in northern Chile with our Blooming Desert Tour from La Serena. We’ll head north from the city toward Carrizal Bajo, located next to Llanos de Challe National Park.


Along the way, you’ll witness how the arid landscape transforms into a unique natural spectacle, the Blooming Desert, a phenomenon that occurs when rainfall exceeds the usual levels, bringing to life thousands of colorful wildflowers that blanket the desert.


Later, enjoy an outdoor box lunch in the park, with time to relax and take in the scenery. Finally, we’ll return to La Serena, dropping you off at your accommodation to end this experience that beautifully combines nature and biodiversity.
