Nayara Alto Atacama
Enveloped by natural surroundings, Nayara Alto Atacama is a luxury resort in the Catarpe Valley of the Salt Mountain Range. As the only lodge in the San Pedro region fully amidst an authentic landscape, the property offers its own "Andescape" concept of environmental sustainability with decorative flora and a stable of llamas and alpacas, local cuisine, and Leave No Trace-schooled guides.

Designed to open travelers eyes and help them explore, feel, and connect via authentic experiences, guests of the lodge along with highly trained guides can discover ancient Incan ruins, petroglyphs, hot springs, and geysers, as well as go mountain biking through desert canyons. Visitors here are encouraged to get off the beaten track, interact with the indigenous culture, and explore the desert's varied landscapes by foot or bike.

The lodge offers three room types: Quitor, Standard Catarpe, and Suite Tilo. Accommodations feature private terraces, minibars, and safe deposit boxes, as well as views of either the courtyard or surrounding landscape.

Inspired by the glacial snow that makes San Pedro de Atacama an oasis, the Puri Spa provides a revitalizing experience where water, expert hands, and aromatic scents are the tools used to revitalize the body after a day of exploring the desert. Plus, there is a Finnish Sauna, Turkish bath, Scottish showers, and indoor and outdoor hot tubs.

The Restaurant serves fresh and organic cuisine from local producers. There is a main indoor dining room and two outdoor dining rooms where guests can experience local cuisine infused with international flavors, as well as an extensive selection of fine Chilean wines.

Please Note: This hotel property offers all-inclusive rates. Please contact us if you have any questions about what’s included in the room rate.
