Pascual Andino was the best accommodation decision we made in our entire trip to Chile. Having spent a week in other parts of Chile, Pascual Andino was the first place we were able to truly get fully rested by night, while still doing activities by day. Checking in with Carlos who was that day's manager was great. We arrived early in the morning and our room was for later that day, but Carlos still invited us to have breakfast as if we had spent the previous night. First proper breakfast we had had during our entire Chile trip. Delicious with fruits, eggs, oatmeal, real fruit juices, delicious artisanal bread and more. So good, we decided not to book an activity the next morning just so that we could have that breakfast again. Our third day we did leave early, but they kindly packed a snack pack with fruit, a sandwich, a cereal bar, and a juice box. It was ready and waiting for us when we left at 4:30 am. The hotel is conveniently located a couple of blocks away from all the important restaurants and travel agencies in town. Close enough for convenience, far enough for quietness. Our manager recommended a tour agency for our day trips to the beautiful spots of the Atacama desert which did not disappoint. They lent us bicycles and steered us in the direction of the Devil's Throat. We weren't planning for an activity that morning, and it turned out to be the best surprise of the trip, biking in a canyon in the desert has been one of the best experiences of my life. Loved it.
