Numerous domestic and foreign tourists travel each year to Chile's Atacama Desert to witness the magnificent spectacle. In recent years, however, because of the large number of visitors, the cutting of flowers and extraction of cactus species (which constitutes a lucrative illegal trade), some environmental advocacy organizations have been reporting the possible destruction of this natural heritage.
Some tourists even travel the dunes in 4x4 vehicles that cause severe damage to plants and reduce the potential for regeneration of the species.
Government authorities are developing and implementing information campaigns, bans and inspections, in order to facilitate the enjoyment of the magnificent natural spectacle while protecting the environment to minimize or eliminate the risk of damage to the survival of the species.
