Terrantai Lodge Hotel

The Terrantai Lodge Hotel honours the spirit of traditional Atacamenean custom while providing the creature comforts expected by modern travellers. On offer is an authentic experience in the sacred soils of the Atacama Desert. There are 21 bedrooms.

The lodge, named ‘Terrantai’ means 'people of the earth' and is right in the heart of San Pedro de Atacama next to the village church, just steps from the craft market and close by the small assortment of restaurants and shops that comprise San Pedro today.

Preserving heritage has been at the forefront of minds in creating the Terrantai lodge hotel. Terrantai has been built with materials taken from earth of the surrounding desert. In this way the Santiago architect, Mathias Klotz was able to use techniques developed thousands of years ago, with local elders teaching young architects the new skills. The stone used in Terrantai is of a beauty that is awe-inspiring.

The Terrantai lodge seems to be just a simple village house from the outside, but inside it is a stunning hotel, and the restaurant is highly recommended!
