Lodge Quelana

Lodge Quelana was a calm oasis during our time in San Pedro de Atacama, which is a very busy and touristy place. The property is beautiful and filled with trees. Each room is a standalone casita with its own private bathroom and deck. The lodge is a few kilometers out of town, so you need to drive to restaurants. While this can be a bit of a hassle, the trade off is the tranqulity and quiet of a more isolated location. The staff were all extremely kind and helpful. There is wifi though the connection was not entirely stable.

Our room at Lodge Quelana was perfect for us. Not expensive but very roomy. The bathroom was very smartly decorated and furnished, with a nice, uncramped shower. Each room is a seperate dwelling which is very private. Breakfast is excellent. Best of all were our hosts who were always there for us. I am an amatuer astronomer and I found a dark enough area on the property to set up my telescope and shared views of the superb southern skies with some of the guests, but most enjoyably, with our fine hosts.
