This archeological tour allows you to visit the ancient ruins that surround San Pedro de Atacama with a local guide. Explore Pukará de Quitor, another set of archeological ruins just north of the city. You have 45 to 60 minutes at this site, which was a fortress built out of stone by the Atacama people to defend against potential enemies. Then continue your tour back to San Pedro de Atacama to visit its historic downtown. Listen to your guide as you visit the Church of San Pedro de Atacama (tickets are not included). Admire this national monument built from adobe and cactus wood.
The itinerary continues to the archeological site of Tulor, about 8 km outside of town. Here you will have about 45 minutes to an hour to explore the site with your guide. See the ancient village's circular mud walls and learn about the site's history. Afterward, you will return to San Pedro de Atacama. The drop off will be at the same point as where you were picked up (meeting point or hotels from the list).
