“ARCHAEOLOGICAL TOUR”

In this excursion we will be able to know the richness of the Atacameña or Likan Antai culture, where we will obtain rich information as far as who they were and how the inhabitants of this zone lived, from pre-Columbian times to the colony.

Pukará de Quitor, a pre-Hispanic fortress built in the 17th century by the Atacameños. Today it represents an archeological monument and its historical importance lies in the "Battle of Quitor", one of the first confrontations between the Spanish and the Indians, at the beginning of the conquest.

Tulor Village, a place that in spite of the time, has been preserved thanks to the natural conditions of the site. This ancestral construction is probably the first settlement in the Salar de Atacama basin.
