My husband and I were on a 3 week tour of South America and we made sure we went to Atacama desert as it blew us away! What an amazing location! It almost felt like we were on Mars or the Moon! What made this even more enjoyable was our stay at Lodge Altitud, a quaint collection of cottages run... More

We stayed at this lodge because we could not get a room anywhere else in town for the 4 nights we needed. It is a 15 minute walk from town on dirt roads with no street lights so take a head light with you, also you have to cross a small river which is sometimes dried up but other times... More

Yes, it's probably 10-15 minutes walk to the centre of town, but it has nice clean rooms; good quality linen; a decent breakfast; good swimming pool; fantastic views and charming hosts. If you want the all in Explora type 4 - 5* luxury stay then this isn't it - but here you feel you're in San Pedro in the middle... More

We called to let them know that we had arrived, and immediately the owner came to pick us up in her car with her little son. They were really really nice, and took us to our hotel. We loved the whole environment and feel of the place. It is smaller, quaint and off the beaten path. There is a beautiful... More

i was supposed to stay 6 nights there and left as soon as i could find an other place, we arrived around 9pm and were welcomed by Alvaro wearing a headlamp to show us the way to the cabana ( which was supposed to be the best at 110 us dollars ) there is no light outside and you walk... More

Ever since our first access to Lodge Altitud's website, we liked it's energy. At first, they didn't have availability but as I kept searching for another pleasant stay in San Pedro and non of the other Hostals/Holetls in our budget range called our attention, I figured we could make an effort and change the trip's schedule in order to stay...

There is NO ONE ON the RECEPTION!!! The gate is open all day e anyone can enter. Someone STOLE my photo camera inside Lodge Altitud.. and the owner didn´t even care, Alvaro didn´t even come to give us a position! The location isn´t good for the price they charge (IT´S FAR FORM THE CENTER) and there was NO WATER, not... More

We stayed here for 5 nights with our 4 children from 14 to 6 yrs old. The 4 of them shared one cottages, which is the only one apart from the main "bldg", about 60 ft away. If you are the protecting type of parent, you wont like that but since that is the only larger room, there is no... More

If you are travelling by yourself and aiming to experience the most comfy stay in the openness of a desert, then go to the Atacama, meet with Alvaro Fuenzalida and enjoy his family-run lodge. It is not easy to challenge oneself and go alone to a desert, but Alvaro reassures anyone and boosts our confidence. His lodge is quiet, beautiful,... More
