It is located 60 kilometers north of the town of San Pedro de Atacama and its 7,000 hectares are an oasis of water and vegetation along the Puritama River from the Altiplano to the Atacama Desert.<\/p>\n

Explora created and administers the Reserve with the mission to protect, promote and develop sustainable tourism by emphasizing Atacama’s natural and cultural heritage. Explora received the 2018 National Environment Award for its work in this area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”7032″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/embed\/3u493VcvihA”][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”title-medium-bold”]<\/p>\n

The Andean cat is one of the most unknown, rare and threatened cats in the world. It is also called “the Ghost of the Andes” because of how hard it is to see. Its body is small \u2013 twice the size of a domestic cat \u2013 gray with brown spots and a long bushy tail with rings, helping it to blend into its habitat. It is estimated that there are currently 1,400 Andean cats, which live under extreme temperatures in the high altitudes of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, with viscachas being their main source of food. They are solitary creatures but can be spotted in pairs or with their cubs during mating season or after giving birth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”7082,7091,7090,7088,7089,7087,7086,7085,7084,7083″ img_size=”600 x 450″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”title-medium-bold”]<\/p>\n
