Description

The trip begins by picking up the guests and then heading to the Mirador de Lickancabur. The group will have the opportunity to admire this beautiful volcano from a favorite point of view while enjoying a delicious breakfast in nature. Then it is time to explore the Quepiaco River, a place that offers incredible landscapes. Great photos and environmental understanding of the desert offers this point, as well as the entire program included in this Tour. Before having lunch at the salt flats, the tour takes place in the middle of the Atacama Desert, off the beaten track, to discover the Monjes de Pacana, gigantic volcanic structures that not only surprise for their wonderful aesthetics, but because they demonstrate incredible geological phenomena that took place in the past and helped shape the entire place as it can be seen today. Then it is time to discover the Salinas de Aguas Calientes and Quisquiro that allow the group to connect with a stunning setting. The white color of the salt flats shines in contrast to the classic, rustic and opaque brown hues of the surrounding desert. This already perfect experience can only be made better by the presence of vicuñas and flamingos, some of the beautiful local fauna, and a delicious lunch outdoors. Simply unforgettable. Last but not least, the Crystal and Black lagoons will offer some great photos to round out this already satisfying and joyful day.some of the beautiful local fauna, and a delicious lunch outdoors.
