Hotels in San Pedro De Atacama

Think of a place where the desert meets the sky in a landscape of surreal color and scale. That’s San Pedro de Atacama, a low-slung adobe town in northern Chile that serves as the gateway to the driest desert on Earth. Visitors come for the otherworldly terrain: the crackling salt flats of the Salar de Atacama, the geyser fields of El Tatio erupting at dawn, and the flamingo-dotted lagoons of the Altiplano. At night, the clarity of the sky makes stargazing at places like the ALMA Observatory an unparalleled experience.

The town itself is compact, centered around the dusty Plaza de Armas, with most hotels and tour operators within easy walking distance. It’s a destination built for adventurous travelers—couples and solo explorers seeking outdoor thrills—rather than business or conventional family holidays. You’ll fly into Calama’s El Loa Airport, about an hour's drive away, with regular shuttle services connecting you to San Pedro.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find 28 places to stay, ranging from basic backpacker hostels with shared courtyards to charming, mid-range boutique hotels built from local stone and clay. Accommodation here is generally authentic and functional, designed for explorers who spend their days on tour and their nights planning the next adventure under a canopy of stars.
