Fodor's Expert Review Cumbres San Pedro de Atacama

Atacama's largest resort features 60 large and comfortable rooms spread over the vast property, offering peace and privacy, with each room having its own patio looking onto native flora and an indoor/outdoor shower. You won't run out of activities between relaxing in the pools, Jacuzzis, and spa (be sure to experience Chile's first oxygen-therapy room); savoring the tastes of the restaurant-bar; and keeping busy with more than 15 different excursions on offer. The large communal areas have been refurbished with handsome furniture collected from artisanal producers from Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, and there's a specialist shop with beautiful alpaca wool items and local crafts. Excursions include all the classic Atacama experiences with a private guide (for up to nine guests) and VIP lunches, and there are other itineraries that include mountain ascents, trekking, and morning yoga. The Kunza restaurant serves up plentiful Chilean cuisine using native ingredients in a modern way—like llama jerky arrancini and carpaccio of guanaco—and the breakfast buffet is plentiful. This is a popular spot for events and weddings and offers the best conference facilities in San Pedro.
