Retreat · Atacama and the Altiplano

Refugio Miscanti

Four rooms at 3,500 metres, used for one night so the altiplano days start higher up.

A small stone refuge on the road up to the lagoons, used for a single night in the middle of the trip. Four rooms, a fire, oxygen on hand, and a cook who understands that nobody eats much at this height.

The reason to stay is not comfort. It is that you begin the high day at 3,500 metres instead of 2,400, which changes how it feels entirely.

What we like

  • Starting the lagoon morning an hour from the lagoons
  • The silence, which at this altitude is total
  • A fire lit before you arrive, every time

Worth knowing. Sleeping at 3,500 metres is harder than visiting it. Some travellers sleep badly here. Clara will tell you honestly whether to include it.
