    Description

    We are a family business, in homage to Mireya Low, a small but brave woman, a pioneer in the hotel industry in this land. A native of Chiloé, she arrived in San Pedro de Atacama with her children in 1963. A woman of effort, who with her own hands raised her family and the small hostel that later received the name "". Their first clients were sulfur miners, who, working at more than 5,000 meters above sea level, returned to San Pedro exhausted and hungry, where they were received and cared for by Mireya, who provided them with food, drink and the necessary rest to continue the next day with their sacrificial and reckless work. Come to Casa de Mireya, come to rest and discover the land that Mireya loved so much and that made her so happy.

    Somos un negocio familiar, en homenaje a Mireya Low, pequeña pero valiente mujer, pionera en el rubro hotelero en esta tierra. Natural de Chiloé, llega a San Pedro de Atacama junto a sus hijos en el año 1963. Mujer de esfuerzo, que con sus propias manos saca adelante a su familia y a la pequeña hostal que mas adelante recibe el nombre de “Chiloé”. Sus primeros clientes fueron mineros del azufre, que al trabajar a más de 5.000 m.s.n.m. regresaban a San Pedro exhaustos y hambrientos, donde eran recibidos y atendidos por Mireya, que les procuraba alimento, bebida y el descanso necesario para continuar al día siguiente con su sacrificada y temeraria labor. Venga a Casa de Mireya, venga a descansar y descubrir la tierra que Mireya tanto amó y que la hizo tan feliz.
