Machuca

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

Machuca is a small village with less than 50 inhabitants. Visited same on my way back from El Tatio Geyser field towards San Pedro De Atacama. This village is famous for selling barbecued lama meat and some delicious freshly made empanadas. Certainly a unique village and would very highly recommend visiting same to any traveler in the Atacama region.

Iglesia de Socaire

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

This church is the main historical heritage site of the town of Socaire. It features works from the colonial period and it’s bell tower is made of edged stone. The church was not open, when my family visited recently, but it was a good experience to view it from the outside. One can appreciate the terraced farms in the close vicinity from the church campus. Certainly worth a stop when en route from San Pedro De Atacama to Laguna Miscanti and Laguna Miniques.
