Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to María Elena?
The best time to visit María Elena is generally during the spring (September to November) or autumn (March to May) when the temperatures are most pleasant for exploring the Atacama Desert.

During these shoulder seasons, you'll experience comfortable daytime temperatures, typically ranging from 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C), making it ideal for outdoor activities and tours of the Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works. The desert air is usually dry and clear, offering excellent visibility for stargazing, a popular activity in the Atacama region.

While María Elena can be visited year-round, summer (December to February) can bring scorching temperatures, often exceeding 90°F (32°C), which can be intense for some travelers.
