El Salvador
This high-altitude mining town in Chile's Atacama Desert sits deep in the Andes foothills, with a tiny central core of cafés and restaurants serving a community that once numbered many times its current size. The surrounding region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the mountains and coast are both within reach.
