Oasis

This historic town, surrounded by volcanoes, geysers, and salt flats, served as a vital stop for caravans crossing the Atacama Desert for millennia. It was a cultural crossroads for indigenous groups and remains a popular tourist destination today.

Deep within the Ennedi Plateau, this remote oasis is home to one of the last remaining populations of West African crocodiles in the Sahara. These remarkable reptiles survive by sheltering in caves and feeding on fish and small animals, adapting to extreme conditions.
