Although it does not rain often here, the water was able to create this extraordinary area anyway. The temperatures can reach up to 50 ° C here, and due to the extraordinary transparency of the air and the lack of large urban centers in the vicinity, Tatacoa is the perfect place to admire the starry sky. For this reason, several astronomical observatories were established in the desert. The desert itself is divided into two parts. The most famous is where the rocks take on intense shades of ocher and red. Tatacoa is a popular hiking and cycling destination.
