Client comments and reviews

Awasi was special. - IS (November 2013)

An incredible place - the rooms, service, food and attention to detail were all spectacular. The day trips were very well planned; it makes a big difference getting the private tours and the guide we had was very knowledgeable. - CT (April 2013)

The Atacama is amazing and Awasi could not have been better, a very professional operation and the food to die for. - MF (July 2009)

Awasi was marvellous! Everything about the place, including the staff, was excellent. - JR (November 2008)

Our favourite hotel in Chile was Awasi! The riding around Atacama was just stunning! - MB (April 2008)
