Iquique - Challakrolo

100 km inland from the city of Iquique, in the heart of the Tamarugal desert, Challakrolo awaits you to offer all the comforts of its tourist center. With an ecological and self-sustainable approach, it is entirely powered by solar energy, and hot water comes from its solar water heaters. The water is extracted from the subsoil of the Tamarugal desert itself. Its accommodations are noteworthy, reflecting an architectural pattern salvaged from the dwellings of the ancient inhabitants of the local desert. They are called “putukus”: they are made of salt, are circular, and have very thick walls that naturally moderate the desert climate inside. This place normally experiences cold nights and warm days. Staying at Challakrolo is not just about comfort and contact with the nature of Iquique, it also represents a cultural and historical experience! The place has 9 accommodations, with a total capacity for 45 people! Additionally, it offers 2 campsites for Motorhomes or RVs, accommodating 20 more people. This destination is PET-FRIENDLY! There is no wi-fi or TV, and loud music is not allowed: Challakrolo's proposal is to connect deeply with your surroundings and with yourself… There are many incredible activities to do: from astronomy workshops, contemplation of archaeological replicas of the area or historical carts, to interacting with farm animals and visiting a museum under construction! All of this makes this destination an ideal place to visit with children…
