A TRADITIONAL LUXURY LODGE
The Awasi Atacama positions you perfectly between the awe-inspiring beauty of one of the world’s most desolate deserts and a town considered to be the archaeological capital of Chile.
The Atacama Desert in the north of Chile is probably one of the world’s most arid places, but it’s also home to beautiful lakes edged with purple-blue mountains, volcanic geysers, marshes and great lagoons populated by flocks of black and pink flamingos. Not to mention foxes, vizcachas, rheas and lizards.
Make the Awasi Atacama part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Chile and you’ll be able to explore history too. 11,000 years ago the desert was populated by hunter-gatherers, and the nearby town of San Pedro de Atacama – the archaeological capital of Chile – has been influenced by Tiahuanaco, Inca, Atacamenos, Spanish, Chilean and Quechua cultures ever since.
