There are just three dome tents on wooden platforms – plenty of space between each for maximum privacy – with attached bathrooms and a shared service centre with kitchen and indoor and outdoor dining spaces.
The tents themselves have everything you could need, including a comfy bed, storage and, thanks to solar panels, around-the-clock electricity and hot water.
It’s every traveller for him or herself.
From there, though, it’s every traveller for him or herself. You’ll need to hire a 4WD to get here – it’s pretty much overland for the final four kilometres of your journey (the camp is about 90 kilometres from Copiapó) – and bring in all the food you might require since there’s nothing nearby.
RELATED ⟶ CHILL THRILLS
The landscape around here – dunes, beach and rocky headlands – is completely arresting and you could easily spend a few days just exploring on foot, swimming in the ocean or taking out the kayaks and getting an eyeful from the water. There’s every chance you’ll feel as though you’re the only people on earth while you’re visiting.
Why It Exists
To create a remote desert-meets-coast basecamp for travellers who want raw, off-grid Chile without giving up a proper bed and hot shower.
The Vibe
Stripped-back adventure living where the Atacama Desert meets the Pacific, and silence, space and salt air do most of the talking.
Your Bed Tonight
One of just three dome tents on raised wooden platforms, each with a comfortable bed, ensuite bathroom and solar-powered essentials.
The Thing You’ll Brag About Later
That you stayed somewhere so remote you had to drive the final stretch in a 4WD and carry in your own supplies like a proper explorer.
Eat / Drink This
Simple, self-prepared meals shared in the communal kitchen, best enjoyed after a day of dunes, swims and coastal wandering.
Steal This Local Move
Wake early and head straight for the shoreline; with dunes behind you and the Pacific in front, it’s easy to feel like you’ve got the entire coastline to yourself.
