Alto Atacama Hotel


A different place, faraway from stress, noise and worries associated with city life can be found in Northern Chile. Atacama features strong waves to the west in the Pacific Ocean and the driest desert in the world to the East, both of which invite you to see a place filled with magic and incomparable beauty.


Hotel Alto Atacama, therefore, is the perfect place to stay at while you visit this part of the country. To see all the wonders of a region that still keeps natural and millenary wonders, Alto Atacama offers comfort and everything you may need to spend an excellent vacation.


The hotel features 32 simple rooms, in which you can try comfortable beds, private bathroom, mini bar, digital safety box and a spacious terrace with furniture that will allow you to enjoy warm afternoons in front of a unique landscape, the northern sky in its entire splendor, with millions of stars on the horizon.


The place’s temperature will allow you to have a drink outside while you see the beautiful nature around you, all day, everyday of the year. Nights are a bit chilly, but a warm comforter will put you in the right mood to see shooting stars and different constellations over the desert.


Alto Atacama also offers typical food at its spacious restaurant, where you will be able to try different meals and dishes prepared with typical products, including fish, shellfish and vegetables. Do not forget to try pisco sour, an ideal preparation to have before lunch or at night, in the company of friends.


When it is time to travel to Atacama you should take into consideration that the town and most of its attractions are in altitude, over 2000 meters above sea level, so if you have problems with your heart, blood pressure or are obese, you should consult with a doctor before traveling.


Once the check up with the doctor is done, you can enjoy everything that Atacama has to offer. Hotel Alto Atacama, for that very reason, offers a SPA with six different swimming pools, Jacuzzi, sauna and thermal waters too, ideal to relax your body after a day walking around.



The hotel organizes excursions for all guests. There are 21 different circuits, which take tourists to every corner in the region, being the protagonist of all the Atacama Desert, its oasis, the altiplano and the area’s culture.


The program includes visists to urban zones, so tourists can see how people there live, in a place so faraway from big cities, witnessing craftmaking, land production and survival in small towns with just enough water for people.


Excursions and attention delivered by the hotel’s administration are top quality, being the right state of mind to create new friendships and to make conversation of interest for Chilean tourists and those who come from other places in the world.


By the sea or the desert, the time you spend at Alto Atacama will be filled with the best service and quality attention, leaving behind all worries and enjoying landscapes like no other, in Northern Chile.
