What To Expect
San Pedro de Atacama
We will start our tour experience from your hotel in the morning to get to know the richness of the valuable Atacama culture, visiting places of great archaeological importance and learning about the customs and traditions of the different peoples that inhabited the area.
Aldea de Tulor
We will visit the most important sites such as the Tulor Village, the oldest inhabited vestige in the Atacama basin, located only 8 kms from San Pedro de Atacama. The remains indicate a labyrinth of semicircular dwellings that were built of adobe (mud and coiron straw) and communicated through interior patios. The first remains were found by the Jesuit priest Gustave Le Paige in 1956.

Awesome Cultural and historical tour

5.00The tour has 3 parts: the Tulor village, the Pukara (fortress) de Quitor, and the Museo. All parts are great, the guide was very knowledgleable and nice. Unfortunately it seems not many people search for cultural and archeological tours in San Pedro de Atacama, which is a pity because there is a lot of history there about the pre-colombian history. Be aware that the Pukara de Quitor part includes a really long climb to the highest observation site of the fortress. Combined with the altitude it's a great challenge but the guides will cheer you up during the climb, and you can chose to stop at any point.
