Local knowledge for San Pedro de Atacama

Where to stay

Budget hostels cluster on and around Calle Caracoles, the town's main strip, within easy walking distance of the Plaza de Armas. Staying on or just off Caracoles puts you next to tour agencies, food stalls, and gear rentals without needing any transport.

Getting around

  • Withdraw cash in Calama before boarding the bus to San Pedro. The few ATMs near the Plaza de Armas charge steep fees and run dry during busy periods.
  • San Pedro sits at 2,400 meters, and El Tatio geysers are up at 4,300 meters. Build in a rest day before that trip or altitude sickness will flatten you.
  • The tour agencies lining Caracoles sell nearly identical Valle de la Luna and salt flat packages. Walk into three or four before committing. Group sizes and departure times vary, and prices have room to move.

When to go

Beds are cheapest and easy to find in April, May, and late September. July and August are the tightest months, when Chilean school holidays and a wave of European travelers hit at the same time.
