Highlights
We know that it is the commitment to show and teach history, and we consider that to start with the different excursions or landscapes we offer, it is necessary to start with the grandparents. It is one of those excursions that take you back in time to theirs, and that brings you closer to the origins of the Atacameña Culture, going through part of its archaeological sites full of history, such as Tulor Village and Pucara de Quitor.

Itinerary
Tulor Village: One of the oldest sites in the Chronological theme, dating from the first settlements in the basin of Salar de Atacama and that can be visited, since there are older ones that are not accessible. Whereas Tulor has been preserved for centuries under the sand.
Pucara de Quitor: It is an Indigenous Fortress, one of its theories is that it is born by internal conflicts between communities due to the decline (fall) of the Tiawanaku Culture and that time later stands out as one of the first clashes between Spaniards and Indigenous.

About San Pedro de Atacama
San Pedro de Atacama is an adobe oasis town in northern Chile, ringed by salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and some of the driest desert on earth.
San Pedro de Atacama is a village of low whitewashed adobe houses and dusty streets in an oasis of the Atacama Desert, at about 2,400 metres. Its adobe church goes back to the 17th century and has a roof of cactus wood, and the small Museo Arqueológico Gustavo Le Paige displays mummies and pottery from the desert's early peoples. The cone of Licancabur volcano stands over the town to the east.
