Explora Atacama

Explora Atacama was designed as the perfect base from where to explore the desert, the Andes highlands and many surrounding natural areas. Through more than 40 explorations that can be completed hiking, by bike, by van, horseback riding or in the observatory, you'll be able to discover the deepest mysteries of the desert: its contrasts, geography, the sky, wildlife and culture. Located in the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, Explora Atacama was built in a 17-hectare plot as a base from where to explore the desert, the Andes highlands, and its surroundings. All programs include accommodation, transfers to and from the airport, meals and drinks, and a menu of more than 40 exploration routes. Huge sand dunes, salt pans, impressive volcanoes and cloudless skies inspired the design of each of the explorations. These can be completed hiking, cycling, horseback riding or through a combination of hiking and by van. Horseback riding through red soil esplanades, walking on landscapes that seem like taken from another world, cycling through the Andes highlands, reaching summits of more than 15,000 feet above sea level or taking it easy in the Puritama hot springs are just some of the experiences you can enjoy. Designed to blend in with the landscape and with views to the gardens, the hotel's comfortable rooms ensure travelers a deep rest after a day of exploration.
