San Pedro de Atatcama is a town in Northern Chile. It is a very popular destination among Chilean tourists and international visitors alike. Visitors come in large numbers to use the town as a stepping stone to the amazing landscapes around it. Prices in any of the laid back bars and restaurants compare with a normal western European city, compared with the relatively low cost of staples and services in most other Chilean towns, due to the high number of tourists. http://wikitravel.org/en/San_Pedro_de_Atacama
