Hiking and searching for locations or ideas for new projects, Jeffrey Katzenberg visited the Alto atacama Hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. Katzenberg is one of the DreamWorks founders, the studio behind blockbuster movies like Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda.

Steven Spielberg and David Geffen’s partner reserved rooms in the Alto Atacama, where he stayed with two other heavyweights of American film industry: Andrew Cripps, president of Paramount Pictures International, and Ian George, senior vice president of that company.

Katzenberg, who is vacationing in Latin America, arrived in his private plane to Calama and stayed a couple of days in San Pedro. After his stay in Alto Atacama, he will be travelling with his friends from Paramount to other countries in Southamerica.

Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen formed DreamWorks in 1994, making it one of the most successful independent film production companies, with Oscar-winning like American Beauty and Gladiator. In 2005, Paramount Pictures bought Dreamworks for U.S. $ 1,600 million.
