Planeta Atacama Lodge

I loved this place. The location is simply beautiful. With just 5 rooms the lodge has a peaceful, laid back feel. The rooms are simple but comfortable with all I needed. It’s about 15 minutes to San Pedro centre. I had a car but never felt the need to drive there. Staff were great. Highly recommended.

Experiência maravilhosa no Planeta Atacama. A paisagem vista dos quartos e durante o cafe da manhã é de tirar o fôlego. Valeram muitas fotos, desde o nascer do sol até o luar esplêndido, sem falar no céu excessivamente estrelado … e tivemos a oportunidade de presenciar eclipse total da lua. Devido ao lodge ser um pouco distante do centro, no favoreceu a ter paisagens tão incríveis à noite pela pouca luminosidade na região. Outro ponto super forte são o Franklin e Carla, super amáveis, simpáticos, disponíveis, atenciosos. Agradecemos por proporcionar esta experiência inesquecível!!!

Ein Ort der Entspannung. Ausgesprochen freundliches Personal, welches auch viele Tipps zu Touren in der Umgebung gibt und bei der Organisation hilft. Die Zimmer sind ein Traum mit fantastischen Blick auf den Vulkan Licancabur. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese Unterkunft nur jedem empfehlen.

There are 5 very clean basic rooms at the hotel. No air conditioning but there was a fan which helped at night. On a hot day, it is a bit stuffy in the rooms but they cool down nicely at night. The back of the property overlooks the mountain range which allows for fantastic views during breakfast and when relaxing off the back of the dining area. Unfortunately, I was there when it was actually quite cloudy over the 3 days so I could not appreciate this fully. It is located slightly out of town and it is very dark at night so the star gazing should be outstanding....but due to the unusual cloud coverage, I could not see any stars. I liked the location of the property which is slightly out of town and very quiet. You should definitely have a car to get around. It is away from the dust and congestion of the center of town. Franklin is the manager of the property. He speaks excellent English and was very helpful. Since there is not front desk and for the most part after breakfast, there is no one at the property but the guests, you should talk to Franklin and the other guests in detail about the different activities you plan as purchasing the tickets to see some of the sights is not obvious - especially if you go see the mountain lakes. If you decide to take the many tours, then the tour operator would take care of this. If you have a car however, you easily see all of the sights yourself.

Franklin was a very helpful host with tips for activities. Free breakfast was included.

Nice & quiet place outside of town.
