Climate

San Pedro de Atacama is an oasis located 2,443 meters (8,015 feet) above sea level, connected with the Calama airport (Chile) by a 100 kilometer paved road (62 miles).

Between January and March, the so-called Altiplanic Winter, comes with occasional showers. For 10 to 12 nights each month there is an astonishing moon, which impels you to go for a walk. On other days, you can enjoy the darkness of the night which makes the stars shine as in no other place on earth.

The climate is magnificent throughout the year, with more than 90% of the days being radiant. During winter (June, July and August) the average daytime temperature varies between 9ºC (48ºF) and 24ºC (75ºF); days are very pleasant, inviting you to relax under the sun.

In summer (January, February and March) the average daytime temperature fluctuates between 13ºC (55ºF) and 25ºC (77ºF), reaching maximums of 32ºC (90ºF): a warmer climate tempting you for a good "siesta" before the afternoon explorations begin.

Food & Wine

Our food is based on the simple details of quality and incorporates local products. Food is an essential part of our culture. For us, it is equally important to have the appropriate food not only at the lodge, but also while enjoying an exploration. During the latter, no matter how remote the location, our staff will always surprise you.

In addition, we frequently organize at our Quincho (traditional barbecue area) outdoor food activities where guests, staff and locals find a good reason to get together.

Wines are brought from different vineyards belonging to sister-companies, namely: Viña Gracia, Viña Porta, Viña Agustinos and Viña Veranda
For those looking to explore deeper into Chile’s wine alternatives we have designed a premium selection list.
