Nayara Alto Atacama: An All-Inclusive Lodge in the World's Driest Desert

Nayara Alto Atacama is one of the most magical lodges in South America, tucked into a red-rock canyon just outside San Pedro de Atacama, in the heart of the world's driest desert. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it wraps low adobe buildings, six pools and Andean gardens around a program of guided excursions to salt flats, geysers and star-filled skies.

The dining is rooted in the desert. Ckelar Restaurant draws its vegetables from the property's own Andean Garden and pours top Chilean wines under chef Rodrigo Acuña; the Fogón Atacameño fires up a traditional quincho barbecue; and the firepit-lit Ckelar Bar and the health-focused Puri Bar complete the offering.

For an immersive, all-inclusive Atacama stay, Alto Atacama is a benchmark.
