Tierra Atacama's All-Inclusive Offering Makes Family Adventure Vacations More Accessible

Lifelong memories of adventure, family bonding and scenic vistas are all for the taking with Tierra Atacama Hotel and Spa, which is extending an invitation for kids to stay for free this summer. Take in the scenic views of the Chilean Altiplano and the Atacama Desert while exploring the area’s gloriously unique salt flats, sand dunes, volcanoes, lagoons and wildlife by foot, wheels, bikes or horses.
 

From July 1 – August 31, Tierra Atacama, located in San Pedro de Atacama, is offering free accommodations, meals and guided expeditions for children up to age 17, a savings of up to $1,200 for two kids for four days. This special offer is good for one child (up to age 17) per paying adult with the purchase of four all-inclusive nights (subject to availability). Children under the age of four remain free. Families can take advantage of full-sized suites featuring accommodations for up to six people.
 

Tierra Atacama sits in the heart of the quaint and rustic town of San Pedro de Atacama, the gateway to Chile’s northern desert region, famed for its majestic volcanic peaks and rolling desert views expanding towards Bolivia and Argentina.
 

There is a full program of excursions that can be tailored for individual experiences and desires. Activities include walking and hiking expeditions, archeological tours, mountain biking adventures, bird-watching and wildlife viewing, volcano ascents, horseback riding, and even guided star-gazing at the resort.

Wellness and pampering is central to the guest experience at Tierra Atacama, which offers a full range of signature spa treatments at Tierra’s UMA Spa, an indoor pool as well as outdoor Jacuzzi. Body and facial treatments embrace local customs, and incorporate the elements such as stones and crystals, plants, herbs and clays.
 

Tierra Atacama offers an all-inclusive program with all visits, including: ground transfers from Calama, accommodations, all meals, daily excursions, open bar featuring house drinks and wines, and the use of the UMA spa facilities.
 

A majestic desert oasis, San Pedro de Atacama (approximately one kilometer from the hotel) is nearly 8,000 feet in elevation and is framed by the Andes Mountains to the east and the Cordillera de Domeyko to the west. The Andes Mountains reach over 22,000 feet with eight massive volcanoes visible from the hotel, one of them still active. The diverse terrain ranges from lush canyons and grassy riverbeds to rolling sand dunes and striking salt flats filled with thousands of flamingos. San Pedro, with a population of only 1,000 people, is considered the archeological capital of Chile and has a rich cultural heritage.
 

All-inclusive rates start at $900 per person for two nights, based on double occupancy.  For more information, visit www.tierraatacama.com.  For reservations, email reservas@tierraatacama.com, or call toll free 1.800.829.5325.
