I found that, after sky-high experiences, it was the little things like these that kept me grounded.
Here, my full review of Tierra Atacama.
None of the rooms have TVs; they’re unnecessary with all the nature and night stars on display.
Guests can enjoy a twist on traditional north Chilean cuisine at the on property restaurant.Tomas Encina Retamal/Tierra Atacama
I highly recommend the lamb, sourced from the surrounding area, served along with delicious locally cultivated couscous.
Theres a bar off the lobby area, where Id highly recommend sampling the aforementioned rica rica sour.

Each excursion is rated by the hotel as easy, medium, or difficult.
