Explora
Estancia de Larache lies thirty kilometers (18.6 miles)
from San Pedro de Atacama, at an altitude of 3,100 meters (10,170
feet), on a tract of land of 18,500 acres. Its centerpiece is
the "Termas de Puritama" with numerous hot springs emanating,
where guests can bathe under the blue skies or the night stars
of Atacama. The tapestries, wicker and furnishings of the hotel
were made by local artisans, to maintain the Atacama flavor and
traditions.
Each
day, Explora
guests can choose to join from 8 to 10 explorations of varying
duration and strenuousness, which have been carefully created
according to weather conditions. Guests can explore the nature
and history of the Atacama by walking, horse trekking, by van
or mountain bikes (especially imported from Bedford, Pennsylvania),
and are always accompanied by guides specially trained in archaeology
and the local environment.
