Exotic Travel: Treat Your Summer Wanderlust At These Unique Destinations

We get that as great as it is to spend time on a beach, it loses its appeal after a whole summer spent partying from coast to coast. Thankfully, the Atacama Desert in Chile is the exact opposite of that. Situated close to the foot of the Andes at 8,000 feet, this desert defines the oasis experience. During the day you can ride horses along the sand dunes with local guides who will take you through some of the desert’s beautiful trails. At night, you are treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing the desert sky light up with thousands of twinkling stars. This is one of those places you can go alone and really reset your body through all the outdoor activities you can engage in, which you definitely would not be able to find in a city.
