By day, the desert is your playground to explore otherworldly landscapes of salt flats, lunar valleys carved by time, volcanoes and geothermal hot springs. Nights are something else entirely: a candlelit table for two set in the open desert, under a canopy of stars, a glass of champagne and an astronomer who will show you the constellations that make the Atacama one of the world’s great stargazing destinations.

Garzón feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. Nestled in Uruguay’s rolling countryside, it charms with unpaved streets, colonial-era architecture, and a sense of timelessness that evokes the romance of a bygone era.

At the turn of the 20th century, Garzón thrived as a bustling railroad stop. But when the highway was rerouted and the station closed, the village slowly emptied, and by the 1960s, fewer than 200 residents remained. Today, it has been revived by artists, restaurateurs and winemakers. There are high-end restaurants, wine bars, art galleries and wineries that are changing perceptions of Uruguayan wine, yet it remains wonderfully unhurried, preserving the gentle rhythm and intimacy that make it so special.

Beyond the town, rolling hills and open skies set the scene for connection through simple pleasures. Think horseback rides across the countryside, cycling between vineyards, wine tastings, gentle hikes and al fresco picnics.
