Tips
The Pukará de Quitor is a historic residential and refuge for the Likan Antai (Atacameños) in Ayllu Quitor in the municipality of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The fortress is one of the best architectural achievements of the so-called San Pedro culture. The ruins of the Pukará are three kilometers northwest of the oasis of San Pedro de Atacama on an east-facing steep slope
