Itinerary at a glance
Arrive Calama (CJC) and transfer to San Pedro de Atacama and check in to Awasi Atacama Lodge. On arrival you will meet your private guide and plan your days of hiking, biking and horseback riding in the Atacama Desert. You can choose from two half-day excursions or one full-day excursion per day.

Head out on a full day of kayaking on the Petrohué River, heading toward Cochamó. This activity takes place in seawater, although in an area protected from large waves and tidal swells, accompanied by a mountain setting, making this an experience that is both safe and stunning.
The Lake District is well known for its trails for hiking and cycling/biking. With the Osorno Volcano as a great giant that sees all, the El Solitario Trail is a great way to discover the details nature hides here.

Get the feeling of what the iconic "baqueanos'' experienced, riding on the endless yellow Patagonian steppe. This excursion has the perfect mixture of traditional culture and surreal sightseeing. Finish the day with some local asado - gaucho barbecue.

The impact
AWA Hotel is the first property in Chile to be a B Corp Certification.
Awasi’s conserved forest areas absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This total is a greater amount than the emissions generated by their three lodges, as well as the airline and transfer travel undertaken by employees and guests.
Awasi passionately uses seasonal, locally produced ingredients, grown within a 50km radius of each property, reducing the amount of meat on the menu by creating more vegetarian dishes.

AWA Hotel is the first property in Chile to be a B Corp Certification. Its mission is to create unique experiences based on the local culture and environment, working hand in hand with the local community, and achieving sustainable growth with their collaborators.
Awasi is carbon neutral: Preserving the three corners of South America where their lodges are located has always been of utmost importance. Awasi protects and conserves over 340 hectares (840 acres) of virgin forest and native woodland in Iguazu and Patagonia. These forest areas, preserved and maintained by their team, absorb over 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. This total is a greater amount than the emissions generated by our three lodges, as well as the airline and transfer travel undertaken by employees and guests.
Awasi and Relais & Chateaux: Relais & Châteaux and Slow Food have created an annual Food for Change campaign to protect local biodiversity and culinary heritage. Awasi works on different programs each year, using seasonal, locally produced ingredients, for example grown within a 50km radius of each property, reducing the amount of meat on the menu; creating more vegetarian dishes; supporting the rearing of local, heritage breeds, and indicating the breed and producers on the menu; for seafood, ensuring it has been sustainably and ethically sourced … and more!
