Putre Things to See and Do
Most travelers come to Putre only as a stop-over on their way to dash through the wonders of Parque Nacional Lauca. But the village offers short hikes to help you acclimatize to the altitude, thus enabling you to better enjoy the bountiful nature. One walk is to pinturas rupestres, or rock paintings by ancient indigenous peoples. Another is to a mirador northeast of town. Stroll through the narrow streets to check out the colorful murals illustrating local legends. Finish off a day of hiking
