Discover Terrantai
One day in 1996 we started building Terrantai Lodge | Hotel. It arose between longings and dreams of sharing with the exploring traveler the experiences of inhabiting a legendary, remote and dreamy desert. We built Terrantai with adobes, lake rocks and wood aged by time, which evoke ancestral memories, inheritances from the welcoming Mother Earth. Its interior spaces, rooms, walls, and hallways were founded from an inspiration of being and doing originating from the Atacama Desert.

Our history
"My ancestors inhabited the Andean world for thousands of years. They explored it, cultivated the oases, climbed the sacred volcanoes, to give thanks to God. They built towns and designed their homes, in harmony with the land... "
This respect for the environment, the subtlety of the materials, the heat of the rocks and adobes, represent the Andean inspiration to build the Terrantai, in a sincere and humble tribute to the legacy of the native tradition of the Atacama Desert to which I belong. It is also an invitation to the traveler to rest comfortably and enjoy themselves in the deep Andean silence.
