Bell Tower

starting at €90.00

In the Atacama Desert, next to a salt lake, lies the small village of Toconao, which is said to be over 12,000 years old! Located at an altitude of nearly 2,500 meters, the village's most famous building is the Church of San Lucas and its bell tower, dating back to 1750. The tower is built of volcanic stone and covered with lime plaster. No trees grow in the arid desert, so the door is made of cactus planks.

PEOPLE´S ERA – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are likely stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made of leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments dedicated to the cycle of the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells the story of people who lived thousands of years before us, their hardships, and their hopes. They are not just ruins but fragments of a shared history.
