Overview

At the base of Chile's Salt Mountains and near the Pucara de Quitor ruins lies Alto Atacama. Ten minutes from San Pedro, the hotel is an ideal jump point for exploring the region's raw nature.

Alto Atacama is built in the style of a traditional adobe settlement, complete with llamas and native crops. Its architecture, gardens, and interior design recreate an ancient village - only with all-inclusive service. Rooms are comfortable and minimalist, and without distractions like wifi or TV, you can finally escape everyday stresses.

The hotel's main draw is its guided tours, with options for every fitness level. Whether you go by car, foot, or bike, there are opportunities to explore nearby villages, valleys and gorges.

After a long excursion, you can relax with a glass of wine on your private terrace or in one of the spa's six pools. If you're into astronomy, the sky-friendly night lighting allows for unbelievable views of the southern skies.

Located in the main building, the well-stocked restaurant offers cocktails, wine, a buffet breakfast and creative Chilean concoctions the rest of the day. It's a perfect place to refuel after a day of hiking, biking, or both.
