We depart early, where we will pick you up at your hotel in the morning, and head to the Pukará de Quitor.

The Pukará de Quitor is an ancient pre-Columbian fortress located in northern Chile, near the city of San Pedro de Atacama. It is an important archaeological site that is part of the cultural heritage of the region. The Pukará (which in the Kunza language means 'fortress') is situated atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the surroundings, including the Valley of the Moon and the Salar de Atacama.

Then, we head to the Tulor Village, another significant archaeological site located near San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile. It is known for being one of the oldest pre-Hispanic villages found in the region, believed to have been inhabited by the Atacameño culture over 2,800 years ago.

Tulor is particularly interesting due to its unique design and architecture. It is composed of circular adobe and mud structures, many of which are connected by narrow passageways. These structures are arranged concentrically, creating a circular pattern that is distinctive to the village. Archaeologists believe that this layout may have had practical and cultural purposes.
