We will depart today from our hotel between approximately 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. to make the most of the day. This exciting adventure will take us through some of the most spectacular and diverse landscapes you`ve ever seen.
Leaving San Pedro, we will begin an ascent to approximately 4,000 meters above sea level, reaching the Red Stones , a geological formation with deep red rocks located in the heart of the high plateau.
The contrast between the red rocks and the turquoise lake is simply dazzling. Here we will have time to explore and take photographs in this
surreal landscape.
We will continue ascending until we reach almost 4,200 meters above sea level, to the Miscanti and Miñiques Altiplanic Lagoons, beautiful high-mountain sister lagoons located in the Los Flamencos National Reserve. These lagoons are surrounded by mountains and offer us the opportunity to watch birds and take photographs of unique landscapes. The lagoon is an ideal place to appreciate the natural beauty and wildlife of the region.
After visiting the lagoons, we will head to the Chaxa Lagoon, which is part of the Salar de Atacama.
Chaxa is a salt lagoon that attracts flamingos and other aquatic birds due to its high salt and nutrient content. Here we will have the opportunity to observe
these beautiful birds in their natural habitat and learn about the unique fauna and flora of the area.
The Salar de Atacama is the largest salt flat in Chile and one of the largest in the world. We will have the opportunity to walk
through the salt flat, observe the impressive salt formations, and enjoy the
vast landscape. During our visit, our guide will make sure to find the perfect, picture-perfect spots you`ve ever seen to enjoy breakfast and also lunch.
After exploring
these natural wonders, we will return to San Pedro de Atacama. We will drop you off near the municipal parking lot. From there, you can explore the town a bit or return to your hotel on your own. If you prefer a private service, we can drop you off at the hotel where we picked you up.
As always, be sure to bring appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and a camera to capture the unforgettable moments. Don`t miss out.
