Putre, Mountain city in northern Chile
Located at 3500 meters above sea level, Putre consists of white buildings centered around a main square near the Atacama Desert border.
The settlement developed as a key trading post between indigenous communities and Spanish colonizers, connecting the Pacific coast with Andean highlands.
Each August, the city celebrates the Feast of Assumption with traditional Andean music performances and regional dance presentations lasting one week.
Travelers reach Putre through regular bus connections from Arica, allowing time to adjust to high altitude before exploring the surrounding mountains.
From Putre, visitors access five major volcanoes including Guallatiri at 6070 meters and multiple thermal springs in the neighboring valleys.
