Waking up in Pristine Camps is an experience in itself. The first sound comes not from an alarm, but from the gentle wind among the hills. From the bed, the light of dawn filters through the windows of the dome, painting the interior with golden tones. Outside, the silence of the desert mingles with the chirping of birds.
After breakfast -prepared with local products and seasonal fruits-, the day outdoors begins. Guided walks to the viewpoint are one of the favorite activities: a tour that combines history, geology and landscapes that seem to be from another planet. For the more adventurous, there are options for more extensive trekking or bike rides on trails that cross natural formations and rural communities.
On the way back, nothing better than a relaxing bath in the private terrace of the dome or a nap in the hammock under the shade of a carob tree. In the afternoon, you can visit the workshops of local artisans or participate in a tasting of high altitude wines. Everything is designed to connect with the environment without haste.
When night falls, the sky becomes the true protagonist. Pristine Camps offers sessions of astronomical observationwhere the guide shares stories of the constellations and legends of northern Argentina. There is no light pollution, so the Milky Way shines with an intensity that is hard to forget.
