Sleeping beneath the stars on one of South America's most extraordinary landscapes, Pristine Camps Salinas Grandes delivers a truly unforgettable desert experience.
Location: Set on the vast white expanse of Salinas Grandes in Argentina's Salta Province, Pristine Camps occupies one of the country's most dramatic and remote landscapes. At over 3,400 metres above sea level, surrounded by the colourful peaks of the Andes, the camp offers an exclusive opportunity to experience the silence and beauty of the salt flats after day visitors have left. It's an ideal stop on journeys through northwest Argentina, combining perfectly with Purmamarca, the Quebrada de Humahuaca and the Puna region.
Rooms: With just six luxury dome suites, Pristine Camps offers an intimate and highly exclusive experience. Each dome has been carefully designed to maximise the incredible surroundings, featuring panoramic windows, comfortable king-size beds, stylish contemporary interiors and private bathrooms. The Premium Suite also stands out for its heated bathtub on it's outdoor deck. Thoughtful touches and cosy furnishings ensure guests remain comfortable despite the remote, high-altitude location, while uninterrupted views of the salt flats create an unforgettable setting from sunrise to sunset.
Amenities: Despite its remote location, the camp offers an impressive level of comfort. Guests enjoy gourmet dining showcasing regional ingredients, welcoming communal spaces and attentive personalised service throughout their stay. Evenings are a particular highlight, with exceptional stargazing opportunities thanks to the area's high altitude, dry climate and minimal light pollution.
Activities: The experience extends far beyond the accommodation. Guests can explore the endless salt flats with expert local guides, witness spectacular sunrises and sunsets, photograph the famous mirror-like landscapes during the rainy season and learn about the region's unique geology and indigenous heritage. The surrounding Andean scenery also offers opportunities to visit traditional villages, colourful mountain landscapes and high-altitude lagoons rich in birdlife.
Sustainability: Pristine Camps is designed to have a minimal environmental footprint, allowing guests to experience one of Argentina's most fragile natural landscapes responsibly. The camp works closely with local communities, supports regional employment and promotes low-impact tourism while helping preserve the cultural and environmental heritage of the Salinas Grandes. They also boast one of the largest solar pars in the hotel industry in Argentina.
