Pucara de Quitor is a wonderful place - it's not far from San Pedro de Atacama town, but not many visitors come here. The fortress is located on top of the hill with wonderful view for the surroundings. The footpath fo Pucara de Quitor starts in San Pedro de Atacama - shortly after crossing the the river the ruins will be visible on your left.
