À vivre

In the heart of the village of San Pedro de Atacama, Awasi Atacama is an intimate hotel offering the experience of the driest desert on earth.
Its refined, traditional architecture makes it an authentic, charming place in complete symbiosis with its surroundings.
By day, the thatched roofs let in a gentle warmth. At sunset, a fine wood fire warms you. At night, you'll be captivated by stargazing.
The Awasi experience sets itself apart from every other lodge in Latin America through its personalized concept: each room is assigned its own guide and private vehicle, allowing you to tailor your stay to your wishes without depending on other guests during group excursions.

Layout

The hotel welcomes you to its 10 suites, built from materials inspired by traditional villages (stone, cob, adobe and thatched roofs).
It also has an open bar offering a wide selection of Chilean wines and a restaurant serving local cuisine. The pool is the ideal spot for a moment of peace before or after a day out in nature.

For your children

Children aged 5 and over are welcome at Awasi Atacama. Activities specially designed for them introduce the culture of the Altiplano and the Atacama Desert in a playful, relaxed way.
So if they don't join you on an excursion, your children can try their hand at local crafts, sandboard on the dunes of the Valley of the Dead, ride horses, go mountain biking, or try astronomy or archaeology activities.

Rooms

Each suite is designed for optimal rest, with a private terrace and patio. They also feature an outdoor shower, a desk and a bathroom with both bathtub and shower. Families can combine two rooms to enjoy a private sundeck as an added bonus.

Activities offered

Each villa includes a private, professional French-speaking guide and a 4x4 available for the duration of the stay to explore the geography of the Atacama in complete privacy.
To reveal the silence of the desert landscape and the warm welcome of its inhabitants, you can choose between a full-day excursion with packed lunch included (lasting 4 to 6 hours) or two half-day excursions (each between 2 and 5 hours) with a return to the lodge for lunch. These excursions are adapted to all physical conditions and everyone's pace.
They are divided into four zones:
- Zone A (salt flats and Domeyko mountain range zone, 2,100–2,700 metres altitude): San Pedro de Atacama, community visits, Valle de la Luna, Cejar lagoon, Toconao, etc.;
- Zone B (canyon zone, mainly volcanic rock, 2,700–3,700 m): Yerbas Buenas, Guatin, Puritama hot springs, etc.;
- Zone C (“Puna” zone, where wildlife and flora are concentrated, 3,700–4,700 m): El Tatio, altiplano lagoons, Salar de Tara, etc.;
- Zone D (mountain zone, home to the peaks of the central Andes, above 4,700 m): climbing the Andean peaks and stargazing.
