explora ATACAMA

Hotel de Larache

Our lodge is located on a plain known as the Ayllu de Larache, once inhabited by an ancient Atacameño community. We have respected the original layout of the land and restored and maintained some of the buildings.

Opened in 1998, our lodge is situated on 17 hectares (42 acres) of grounds just a few minutes’ walk from the town of San Pedro de Atacama. In the area surrounding the lodge, we have maintained the ancient pathways and buildings which form a labyrinth that invites exploration.

There are 50 rooms housed in three long buildings, positioned to form a central square planted with large trees for ample shade. On the fourth side of the square is the building which houses the lodge’s public spaces. The views from the lodge’s broad terraces enable you to enjoy Atacama’s vast chain of volcanic mountains.

In 2008, we set ourselves the challenge of intensifying your explora Atacama experience, remodeling the furnishings and the indoor and outdoor spaces. Now that the work is complete, we are pleased to be able to offer you new facilities and services.

 
Termas de Puritama

Termas de Puritama

Taking advantage of the warm waters of the Puritama river, we built eight pools fed by hot springs and connected by wooden walkways. This is a very special place and some of our explorations end here.

A 45-minute trip by minibus from the lodge and situated on some 7,500 hectares (18,532 acres) of land is one of our most treasured places: the Termas de Puritama.

Here, at the foot of a large ravine 3,500 meters (11,482 feet) above sea level spring forth the thermal waters of the river Puritama, which in Kunza, the traditional Atacameño language, means "hot water". The water temperature is 32ºC (89.6ºF) and contact with it is a revitalizing experience for both body and spirit.

This facility is open to the public and the entrance fees are used to directly benefit the Atacameño community.
