PIEDRAS ROJAS - LAGUNAS ALTIPLÁNICAS - LAGUNA CHAXA
Embark on an unforgettable experience that will take you to discover some of the most surprising landscapes of the Andean plateau , in the heart of San Pedro de Atacama .
🌅 We start our tour early in the morning , to make the most of the day and gradually acclimatize to the altitude.
📍 First, we'll visit the majestic Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons , also known as the Altiplanic Lagoons , located more than 4,000 meters above sea level . Surrounded by volcanoes and mountains, these volcanic lagoons stand out for their intense colors and breathtaking tranquility .
🏞️ Next, we'll head to the iconic Salar de Aguas Calientes , better known as Piedras Rojas , a surreal landscape where the reddish tones of the rocks contrast with the turquoise waters and white salt. A perfect place to connect with nature and take spectacular photographs . 📸
🧭 On the final stretch of the tour, we'll explore the impressive Salar de Atacama , the largest in Chile. Here you can walk among immense salt plains , feel the ground crunch beneath your feet, and admire the vastness of the desert.
🦩 We'll also visit Laguna Chaxa , a natural sanctuary home to Andean flamingos, highland birds, and unique ecosystems . A magical stop to conclude the tour with the vivid beauty of the highlands.
