Four South American Hotels To Stay In and Play In

Nothing can prepare travelers for the otherworldly natural beauty of South America. For outdoor adventurers who’ve outgrown backpacking and hostels, here are four recommended places to stay, paired with an activity to help soak up the very best each destination has to offer:

Climb a volcano
Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Nestled along the coast of Chile, the Atacama desert region is best explored from the home base of luxury lodge, Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa. Rooms are spacious with private terraces, indoor and outdoor showers and fantastic views of the gardens and of the Licancabur volcano.

Rates are inclusive of food, drink and full or half day excursions. Small group treks include climbing either Toco or Láscar volcano. Both excursions involve a 90-minute plus drive to altitudes exceeding 15,000 feet, where the walk to the peak begins. From the summit of Láscar (a live volcano), enjoy views of the Chilean altiplano, and nearby Pili, Simbad and Tumisia volcanos. Views from the Toco peak afford vistas of the Bolivian altiplano and the Atacama Salt Flat.
Rates start at $695 for a two night, all-inclusive stay.
