Pukará de Quitor
Najbolje vreme za posetu
Early morning or late afternoon gives the most beautiful light and thinner crowds. Avoid midday, when the desert heat makes the climb quite heavy.

Expect around 3,000 CLP entry for foreign visitors and 1,000 CLP for Chileans, payment is made in cash at the entrance. Walk or cycle from the village on your own instead of booking an expensive guided tour, and bring your own water.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Oko 15 kamenih građevina razbacano je po stenovitom uzvišenju, tvrđava koju je podigao narod Atakamenjo tokom srednjeg veka. Krvava bitka 1540. naterala je branioce da napuste uzvišenje, a ostaci zida stoje i danas.
Istaknuto: Jedini uzani otvor u zidu služio je kao kapija, odbrana toliko efikasna da je nekolicina mogla držati celu vojsku napolju. Na grebenu, više od 100 metara iznad reke, imate celu dolinu i 5.916 metara visok vulkan Likankabur u istom pogledu.
Insajderski saveti
- Bring at least one liter of water and sturdy shoes, the last stretch is steep and rocky.
- Come for sunset for golden light over the valley, but allow time to get back down before darkness falls.
- Take the opportunity to photograph the volcano from the upper terraces, where you get the whole mountain range in the frame.
- Skip the guided tours if you are an experienced hiker, the trail is easy to find on your own.
