I am Terrantai Lodge. Located in the heart of San Pedro de Atacama and tucked behind natural stone walls, I am a 19th-century historic boutique hotel inspired by the ancient Atacamian villages and hospitality. Due to my central location, I am the perfect base to explore the small village of San Pedro and all the sight-seeing spots within the Atacama Desert.

I am a quaint oasis offering a small plunge pool, complimentary afternoon tea time and the highlight of most of my visitors is our daily wine & cheese hour, courtesy of the hotel where I strive to provide our guests with a taste of the local finest.
