San Pedro de Atacama
,
Chile
Three kilometres from San Pedro de Atacama, Nayara Alto Atacama occupies a green oasis in the enclosed Catarpe Valley. Low adobe buildings, stone walls and shaded terraces echo the surrounding ochre cliffs, while rooms use natural fabrics, handwoven details and private outdoor space facing the gardens or Salt Mountain Range. Puri Spa brings together several pools, treatment rooms and open desert air; guided excursions reach salt flats, geysers and high-altitude lagoons. Evenings can continue at the hotel’s observatory, where telescopes turn towards the exceptionally clear sky above cactus gardens and the valley’s red rock walls.
