The hotel’s immense windows amplify the grandeur of the volcano-dotted Atacama Desert – and you’ll want to get out there to discover the glittering salt pans and the snow-dusted volcanoes on foot or horseback. Solar panels provide nearly half of the lodge’s electricity and it uses recycled waste water to irrigate the gardens. Local
agriculture is evident in its kitchen gardens, with seasonal plantings of corn, quinoa, figs and other produce – and all kitchen waste is composted. TOP TIP: The Atacama Desert is one of the best places on the planet for star-gazing – the night skies and the Milky Way are truly unforgettable. CONTACT: www.tierrahotels.com
