An island uniquely divided into two parts: the Dutch side, Sint Maarten, and the French, Saint Martin. The north is known for its French culture, culinary scene and laid back atmosphere. It’s also home to secluded beaches, mountainous views and hilltop forts like Fort Louis in Marigot, the capital city.

Located eight miles west of San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile’s Atacama Desert lies el Valle de la Luna. Part of Los Flemencos National Reserve, the area was declared a Nature Sanctuary in 1982 for its natural environment and unique lunar landscape filled with stone and sand formations formed by wind and water.

The driest place on Earth, the deserts of Atacama boasts natural wonders like salt flats home to pink flamingos, red rock formations and mysterious blue lagoons at Laguna Chaxa, Piedras Rojas and Altiplanic Lagoons.
