Our first stop, after 1 hour of travel, is in the Miscanti and Miñiques altiplanic lagoons located at 4200 meters above sea level. and formed due to the eruption of the volcano of the same name. When we finished, we moved to Piedras Rojas which is a volcanic conglomerate formed from the oxidation of the iron present in that place, accompanying this is the Aguas Calientes Salt Flat. The next stop is in the Atacameño town of Socaire, located at 3,500 meters above sea level. in which you can see the cultivation terraces and visit the patrimonial church of the town. Afterwards, we visit the Atacama Salt Flat, the largest in Chile and which is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve. Here we stop at the Chaxa lagoon to be able to observe the 3 types of flamingos (Parina chica, parina grande, flamenco chileno) in addition to other species that inhabit the lagoons of the salar. As the last stop we will arrive at the town of Toconao, where we will appreciate the church and the bell tower of San Lucas. After this we return to San Pedro de Atacama around 4:30 p.m.

      We appreciated the stunning landscapes of the altiplanic lagoons and the striking red stones that punctuated the scenery while navigating through San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The transportation was comfortable, but we found the timing a bit rushed at some stops, which made it challenging to fully soak in the atmosphere.

      This tour truly opened my eyes to the serene beauty of the high-altitude lagoons and stunning red stones that dot the landscape. While the scenery was breathtaking, the van ride back felt a bit cramped, making it hard to fully appreciate the views on the way out.
