Puritama Trek

Puritama is a famous place, but few experience it the way we do. We begin our expedition about 25 km northeast of San Pedro de Atacama, in an area steeped in ancestral history. Here, ancient stone walls (pircas) and corrals still lie beside the river, a living testament to the Atacameño culture and the passage of time. Our adventure begins by immersing ourselves in the comforting hot springs of the Puritama River; a warm, deeply relaxing bath that awakens the senses. With body and mind renewed, we begin a trek downstream through the heart of the canyon. We'll move at a calm pace through the deep "veins of the Andes," crossing an environment full of plant life and rocky contrasts on a moderate but highly accessible and enjoyable route. A spectacular half-day experience for those looking to reconnect and leave the desert completely rejuvenated. Ask about the Short Walk option if you're looking for this experience in a less demanding format.
