San Pedro de Atacama Inns - Reviews and Rates

Arrived in San Pedro after a mere 23 hour bus journey from Santiago, completing my trip from Punta Arenas to the Tropic of Capricorn in 3 days! It was an interesting ride - the whole route was pretty dry, passing at various times cacti, pisco grapes, Andean mountains, the Pacific Ocean. I have to say that this area seems to have clear skies and ...

San Pedro de Atacama - The lagunas altiplanicos
Yesterday was a 6 am start to get to the salt lagoons on the high plateau, about an hours drive from San Pedro. We got there just as the sun was getting up. We were high above the massive Atacama salt flats on the other side of San Pedro from the main desert, but still in the Chilean wastelands<...

We had arranged to spend 3 nights in San Pedro, it was a really nice little town in the middle of the desert. But very touristy and therefore very expensive. The reason for coming was mainly as this is the place to pick up the 3 day tour into Bolivia accross the Salar de Uyuni (the worlds largest salt flat). Most things were quite a way out of t...

So we made it accoss the boarder... god knows how! i think we all had our doubts at one point when the engine started smoking but with a reasonably hassle free boarder crossing, swapping from one truck to another, we got ourselves (me and the ozzies) to san pedro de atacama, a sandy (obviously) little town, which was incredibly hot and touristy ...

The drop from the Bolivian border to San Pedro is 1200 metres and took around an hour in the van, plus some time to pass through the Chliean customs (no veg or animal products allowed). The change in climate is considerable: the last time we wore singlet, shorts and thongs was in Iquitos (Amazon, Peru) a month ago! Also, its an immediate change ...

Second half of third day of excursion After getting into the bus to take us to the border town of San Pedro de Atacama we directly notice the difference between the two countries: from a desert with now roads but just a set of anarchic tracks we get onto a beautifully asphalted road with big signs, security barriers, and security stops for truck...

Had an easy morning chilling out around San Pedro yesterday, before embarking on a 14km trek in the afternoon - when we signed up for it Phill sold it to me as a chance to see the sun set over a big sand dune - he forgot the bit that said we had to trek down sand dunes for an hour before walking up a gorge for another two hours!! But it was grea...

We knew we were back in friendly territory when we hit San Pedro de Atacama, a touristy desert town with cute adobe houses with interior patios and roofs made from hay and clay. The streets are red dust. Everything is coloured mudbrick brown. There is an appeal here and it seems to attract some interesting oddball travellers whom we prefer to mi...
