Church of San Pedro de Atacama

Church of San Pedro de Atacama: Mud Brick & Cactus Wood Design

Step inside for the rare cactus-wood ceilings and leather-bound beams; the colonial architecture here uses local materials because wood was scarce in the desert. It’s a quick 15-minute stop in the town square that feels oddly peaceful. Come at sunset when the white-washed adobe walls turn orange, or early morning to avoid the tour bus crowds. Skip the interior if there’s a service, but the exterior courtyard is perfect for a low-key photo op.

Address: Caracoles 362, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta
