Reserva Elemental Puribeter

Reserva Elemental Puribeter, which in the local language - Kunza - means “Water Path”, is not a hotel, but a living space for education and conservation dedicated to safeguarding Atacamenian culture and its desert ecosystems. Located in the heart of the Béter Ayllu -community- just 20 minutes from downtown San Pedro de Atacama, it offers a unique experience to understand and connect with life in the oasis due to its high value for the conservation and research of arid zones, as well as for astronomy and culture. The reserve covers an area of ​​47 hectares, 57% of which is designated for conservation, while the remainder is used for traditional agriculture and scientific and educational facilities. Its architecture is inspired by the traditional way of living in the desert, primarily communal. Our rooms will be simple, comfortable, and shared, as will the bathrooms. We will be surrounded by the most diverse landscape of the Atacama Desert: chañar forests, dunes, cultivated areas next to volcanoes, and the widest blue sky. They allow us to bring in our own chefs and tailor meals to our journey! There are plenty of spaces for communal sharing, as well as for solo reflection. Its magic settings, from the fire circle perfect for sunsets, to its colorful main practice room, Puribeter integrates nature into its architecture. Puribeter is an invitation to inhabit the desert in a different way: with respect, contemplation, and gratitude, learning from the land that sustains life in the midst of emptiness.
