The Enviroment:
CHILE – San Pedro de Atacama
The lodge is located on a plain known as the Ayllu de Larache, once inhabited by an ancient Atacameño community. Opened in 1998, it is situated on 17 hectares of grounds just a few minutes’ walk from the town of San Pedro de Atacama.
This Atacama Hotel in Chile consists of a main building and several units of rooms, all with a broad overhanging roof to provide shade to the interior as well as to the walkways. The central building was designed to provide views of both the oasis nearby and the Andean peaks in the distance.
Being responsible
The property has respected the original layout of the land and restored and maintained some of the buildings, the ancient pathways and buildings which form a labyrinth that invites exploration.
The hotel’s environmental policy arose from the desire to minimize the impact of all the operations on the area. From this starting point, the property have made a commitment to responsible environmental management to ensure that the use they make of natural resources is sustainable and that they effectively manage the waste they generate.
They also are committed to actively promoting the well-being and development of the local communities and their commitment can be seen on all of Explora resorts.
How you will reside
The Atacama hotel has 50 comfortable rooms, each designed to maximize silence and privacy. They are tastefully designed with wooden ceilings and floors made of stone and tiles. Each has a small living area, a hydromassage bath and beds designed for deep, pleasurable sleep after a day of exploration.
How you will eat
The hotel cuisine offers pure flavours based on the best-quality ingredients, many of which are produced locally. It is healthy and well-balanced, ideal for people going trekking, horseback riding or looking for a great Atacama restaurant while on other explorations.
Amenities
Four interconnected, outdoor swimming pools, two of them heated by solar panels. Saunas, steam baths, heated open-air jacuzzis and a self-service bar.
This hotel is the only lodge in the area with its own horses, which have been bred and trained especially for our travelers to ride.
