Description

We pick you up at your hotel between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. in the morning. At our first stop we visit the hot water salt flat known as Piedras Rojas, a unique point in the middle of the desert where we can see a turquoise lagoon of rocky volcanic formation, which is why it has its unique color. Then, we will enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast, with coffee, pancakes with delicacy, scrambled eggs, and everything delicious you can imagine prepared at the moment thanks to the kitchen of our Safari Bus, observing the unmatched beauty of the Tuyacto lagoon. We continue our trip towards the Altiplanic lagoons, a natural corner without human intervention. Also known as Miscanti and Miniques belonging to the National Flamingo Reserve. Of the two lagoons, Miscanti stands out for being of great length and width, and interesting perspectives of the relief can be observed from the place. They are located 117 km southeast of San Pedro de Atacama and about 4,300 meters high. The last stop takes us to the Tropic of Capricorn, a place in the middle of the desert where we can pass this imaginary line that divides planet Earth.
