Explora Atacama

Explora Atacama, Atacama, Chile

Overview

Oneness with nature, respect for the ecosystem, harmony with local traditions. These are the guiding values of the Explora Atacama, a unique eco-lodge that serves as a link between contemporary life and the timeless mysteries of Earth’s driest desert.

Located in the Ayllu de Larache, a traditional Aymara community near the town of San Pedro, the lodge’s indigenous land parcels serve as a base for your explorations into the wonders of the Atacama. After venturing out on foot, bicycle, or horseback, you’ll marvel at the vast, extraterrestrial landscapes around you, before returning to meditate on what you’ve seen in the on-site observatory or spa. A perfect vantage point for contemplating one of Earth’s most wondrous places.
