The program
at explora en Atacama, based at Hotel
de Larache in the oasis of San Pedro, puts visitors
in the middle of a fantasy where exploration, the leaving
and returning, acquires a shape of its own.
The altiplano is more a metaphor than a geographical entity.
More than a physical exploration, the trip through the altiplano
is a spiritual exploration inside oneself in a unearthly
world. The altiplano shows that behind the complexity of
life there exists a simplicity that leads us to reconsider
our place within the grand scheme of things. And that is
what makes the trip to Atacama one of the most magnificent
experiences that one can ever realize.
Our program, explora en Atacama, is an
entire experience including our guided explorations, our
gourmet food and what is most important, those unique moments
shared with our staff and the local people. At explora,
we believe that the Hotel is only a base to regain energy
and start fresh the following day. Despite that, our Hotel
is a truly enjoyable place!

At
explora Atacama we offer over 50 different explorations. On
foot or horseback or by bicycle; a couple of hours to a full
day; gentle or more physically demanding.
Our series of explorations will enable you
to discover the ancient culture of Atacama, its singular
wildlife, and get to know in-depth the natural landscapes
of this vast terrain: from the brown of the Andean mountains
and volcanos, to the white of the salt flats and the green
of the oases.
San Pedro de Atacama is located at an altitude
of 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) above sea level. Our explorations,
planned to enable your body to gradually become accustomed
to the altitude, can take you to heights of between 4,000
meters (13,123 feet) and 4,500 meters (14,763 feet) above
sea level and if you wish, even further on our high-mountain
climbs.
Explorations are safe and are made up of
groups with a maximum of 8 people, accompanied by an expert
bilingual guide. All our guides speak excellent Spanish
and English and some also speak French and German.
More extensive explorations include open-air
picnics.
Every evening, one of our guides will meet with you in the
lodge bar to tell you about the explorations planned for
the following day and help you with the difficult task of
choosing between the 7 to 14 different options, all of them
exciting.
Our guides have substantial knowledge
of the area and all have Wilderness First Responder (WFR)
certification, which guarantees that they have the expertise
and skills necessary to provide assistance to people in
remote places.
