Nearby landmarks include the Archeological Museum of Father Le Paige (2 km), Museo R. P. Gustavo Le Paige (1 km), and Pukara de Quitor (3 km). Other sites include Plaza de San Pedro de Atacama (2 km), Atacama Observatory (0.5 km), and Church of San Pedro de Atacama (2 km).

Services Offered

Explora Atacama offers all-inclusive programs covering accommodation, meals, transportation, and excursions. Free WiFi is available in common areas. The property includes a well-stocked shop. Reception and room staff are professional and helpful. There's a pool, massage room, and stables.

“The excursions shine, customized daily, and lead to slot canyons and geysers, yet some drives can be long; rooms are modern and spotless, though not entirely soundproof, promising rest after high-altitude hikes. While the staff is commendable, the food seems inconsistent-a letdown compared to other experiences. It's an adventure base with potential for improvement in its culinary offerings.”
