There’s nowhere else on earth quite like Awasi, |set amid Chile’s legendary Atacama arid landscape with eternal blue skies, sprawling desert and natural wonders including the Licancabur volcano, magnificent sparkling white Salar de Atacama salt flat, and world famous El Tatio geysers.| The hotel is located in the oasis village of San Pedro de Atacama, itself a historic landmark widely considered to be the archeological capital of Chile. Awasi is a small and quaint hotel built unobtrusively as a series of low lying thatched adobe-rendered villas with a unique concept: to stand out from the rest by providing guests with personalized services and tailor-made experiences. It is the only lodge in South America where one can enjoy private excursions, with an assigned jeep and tour guide.
