By day, you can explore this exhilaratingly dramatic landscape by foot, bicycle, 4x4 or horse. Excursions to suit all abilities and interests might see you befriending llamas and alpacas, walking through valleys under the light of the full moon, spotting giant cacti and geysers at sunrise, or venturing to find thermal springs and salt water pools in the world's driest desert. Upon your return, the Uma spa - which translates as "water", in the Aymara language - awaits. Treatments look to the region's bounties: sheep's milk, honey and clay, desert herbs, salt and volcanic mud. Heading outside once more, listen to the sound of rustling pampas from the hot tub and relax in the infinity pool, surrounded by loungers and wicker hammocks.
