Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

San Pedro is a tiny desert town at 2,400m that runs entirely on tourism — every tour (Valle de la Luna, El Tatio geysers, the salt flat lagoons) groups solo travelers together, and the main street of tour agencies makes booking everything easy. The stargazing here is among the best on earth due to the altitude and zero light pollution. Rent a bicycle to explore the valley independently.
