Have you ever dreamed of connecting with nature at its best, without giving up comfort and sophistication?
Glamping is the perfect fusion between “glamour” and “camping”. It allows you to live unparalleled luxury experiences in the midst of dream landscapes. Immerse yourself in this exclusive adventure through the most dazzling corners of Argentina and Peru, where the magic of camping is elevated to a new level of charm and refinement.
Salinas Grandes, Jujuy – Argentina
Walking into the Salinas Grandes is like being transported to another world. It’s an infinite white salt desert that defies logic. And right in this stunning yet challenging landscape, Pristine Luxury Camps awaits you with a slice of luxury and comfort worthy of a dream.
Just 10.5 km from the entrance, the 6 luxury suites of this dream camp are the perfect place to relax in the middle of the desert. The 4 premium suites can sleep up to three people, while the 2 exclusive suites are perfect for two guests. They all have all the amenities you could need, including dream beds, private bathrooms, heating, air conditioning and even fireplaces for the cold nights.
But what really stands out are the landscapes that change with the seasons. In the rainy season (December to March), the ground is covered with a thin layer of salt water, which creates an impressive natural mirror effect. The salt flats then become a great lake of infinite reflection, where the sky and land seem to merge into a single surreal postcard.
If you visit between April and November, during the dry season, you’ll see something pretty incredible: a vast white salt desert, dotted with geometric shapes formed by salt crystals. It’s an otherworldly landscape that changes shape with the sun’s movements.
No matter what time of day it is, the Salinas Grandes are an incredible place to visit. Whether it’s during the day, when the giant round moon is rising, or at night, when the Milky Way is stretching across the sky, it’s a destination that defies logic. Pristine Luxury Camps will let you experience it up close, with all the comforts you could need, surrounded by the best luxury: the immensity of nature at its best.
Payogastilla, Salta – Argentina
Next on our glamping trip around northern Argentina, we head to Payogastilla, a small town on Route 40 in the heart of the Salta region. There we find Siilu Wasi, which means “house in the sky” in Quechua, an eco-friendly place to stay in nature.
This innovative proposal is a great way to enjoy the adventure of camping with all the comforts of a hotel. The geodesic domes with private bathrooms, minibars, air conditioning and even hammocks are the perfect place to reconnect with nature without giving up comfort.
But Siilu Wasi offers more than just a dream accommodation. You can also take part in activities that promote the preservation of the Calchaquí culture, such as local cooking classes, adobe construction workshops or simply planting a tree.
If you’re an adventure lover, you’ll love horseback riding, trekking and visiting typical villages like Angastaco or the magical Quebrada de las Flechas. And if you’re looking for relaxation and an inner connection, you can immerse yourself in yoga and meditation sessions or just be blown away by the incredible sunsets here.
The experience is enhanced by the exquisite gastronomy, based on local ingredients and organic products, which you can enjoy in full board, half board or simply buffet breakfasts. It’s a luxury glamping dedicated to nature lovers, conscious adventure and accessible and inclusive tourism.
Puerto Iguazú, Misiones – Argentina
This luxurious camp is located in the exclusive Puerto Bemberg Nature Reserve, which is the gateway to one of the most overwhelming natural spectacles on the planet: the imposing Iguazú Falls. Unlike conventional hotels, Pristine Iguazú will allow you to experience this wonder of the world from a privileged place and with a unique concept.
Imagine waking up in the middle of the jungle of Misiones, surrounded by exuberant vegetation, feeling at one with nature. That’s what the two premium suites and four exclusive suites at this luxurious camp offer. They’re luxurious tented suites with all the comforts, but with the excitement and magic of camping outdoors.
Each suite has a private bathroom, minibar, air conditioning, heating and even a mate set, so you can enjoy this Argentine tradition in the middle of the bush. And there’s more! The suites are right next to the Paraná River, so you can enjoy a close encounter with nature.
But the best thing is being able to access the Iguazú National Park from such a great spot as Puerto Bemberg. Just picture this: you’re walking along the trails of the reserve, all the way to the Falls, without the crowds of tourists that usually throng the central area. It’s a much more personal and connected experience with this natural wonder.
When you’re visiting, it’s worth bearing in mind that the seasons affect things. It gets pretty hot during the summer (December to March), with temperatures reaching up to 33°C and high humidity. If you’re travelling during this time, make sure you stay well hydrated and wear cool, light clothing for jungle treks.
Autumn (March to June) is a great time to visit, with dry, sunny days ideal for exploring the region without sweltering heat. The waterfalls also reach their highest flows in these months, so you’ll get to see a truly breathtaking spectacle.
Whichever time of year you choose, a stay at Pristine Iguazu Luxury Camp will let you experience this natural wonder in a really exclusive way, away from the crowds. Make sure you book in advance to guarantee your stay in this oasis of luxury and tranquillity in the middle of the jungle of Misiones.
Valle Sagrado, Cusco – Perú
Get ready for one of the most incredible glamping experiences you’ll ever have. At Skylodge, you’ll be sleeping suspended in mid-air inside transparent capsules hanging from the top of a cliff in the magical Sacred Valley of the Incas. Once you’re settled in one of these three state-of-the-art suites, you’ll be blown away by the 360° views of the incredible Andean landscapes that surround you.
But the adventure starts long before you reach your capsule. First, you’ll cross a suspension bridge and climb a thrilling via ferrata, clinging to the rock. A vertical trekking experience that’ll get your heart racing before you settle into your dream aerial suite.
Once you’re in your panoramic accommodation module, you’ll be comfortable thanks to the fans, the privacy of the bathrooms and the help of trained guides. And at night, there’s nothing quite like falling asleep with the Milky Way’s vast expanse of stars above the Sacred Valley. It’s an out-of-this-world experience.
Chaska Ocupi – Ollantaytambo, Cusco – Perú
Just an hour from the Sacred Valley, Chaska Ocupi luxury camp will take you to a dream world, combining the rustic charm of tents with all the comforts of a boutique hotel. Picture this: sleeping in a tent, but with the comforts of home. Exquisite bedding, a private bathroom with hot showers and heating for those cold Andean nights.
But Chaska Ocupi does so much more than just provide accommodation. You can really get to grips with the local culture through craft workshops, yoga and meditation classes, and a select menu of outdoor activities such as horseback riding, canoeing, mountain biking and much more.
After a day of adventure and discovery, there’s nothing better than relaxing in the social areas in front of a warm campfire, sipping typical drinks like a Pisco Sour. This exquisite rustic luxury experience is ideal for lovers of conscious tourism and respect for nature.
Between the stunning salt deserts, breathtaking waterfalls, hanging capsules with a view like a film and campsites full of charm, Argentina and Peru have established themselves as true glamping paradises in South America.
Get ready to be blown away by a stunning blend of luxury and nature in its purest form. We’re excited to share some truly unique experiences with you, set against dreamlike landscapes.
Stay tuned for the second part of this series, where we’ll be showcasing the best glamping options in the magical Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia.
