Atacameño

The Atacameño, also known as the Lican Antay, are an indigenous people from the Atacama Desert region in northern Chile and parts of Argentina. Traditionally, they have relied on agriculture, mining, and herding to sustain themselves, adapting to one of the driest places on Earth. Their rich cultural heritage includes unique crafts, music, and spiritual practices deeply connected to their landscape. Today, they work to preserve their language, traditions, and rights, contributing an important cultural perspective to the region’s history and identity.
