Our Story

Functional garments for remote living.

Inspired by nomadic tribes across the world, Altacama seeks to create functional garments that aid and enhance your enjoyment of the desert. As the most barren, dry environments on Earth, deserts pose an interesting challenge: extreme heat in the day, and bitter cold at night. This lack of insulation causes rapidly shifting temperatures, while high altitudes and high pressure can block rain and create difficult conditions. Altacama is learning from cultures who have adapted to this geographic quandary, and modernizing it for the modern day. We hope to create functional, beautiful work that improves your time outside.
