Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama.


Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel and head southeast.
First, we will visit Laguna Chaxa, the central point of the Atacama Salt Flat, within the Los Flamencos National Reserve. This lagoon is surrounded by salt and gypsum crusts formed by the evaporation of saline groundwater. Here, we can observe flamingos and other bird species. We will then continue to the Miscanti and Miñiques High Plateau Lagoons, also within the Reserve. At over 4.000 meters above sea level, they lie at the foot of two homonymous volcanoes. Their landscapes blend the color of the water from underground sources, the volcanoes, and the ice formed by low temperatures.
Next, we will head to Piedras Rojas, a reddish landscape formed by iron oxidation, where you can also appreciate the Aguas Calientes Salt Flat, a green-colored lagoon, one of the most beautiful spots in the region. Finally we will return to San Pedro.


We will pick you up from your hotel after breakfast and take the CH-23 highway west, heading toward the airport. Just before crossing the Domeyko mountain range, we will continue on the B-207 highway and reach the Salado River at 3,500 meters above sea level, where we will begin our hike through a canyon that often has water during the summer (rainy season). On the canyon walls, we will see rock art, mainly petroglyphs of llamas and other animals. Since it is occasionally a watercourse, we will observe native plants that the locals still use for various purposes today.
After walking on flat but slightly uphill terrain, we will climb a hill to get a general view of the area and spot the sector known as the Rainbow Valley. We will descend into it and observe the different minerals that give it its name. We will cross these colorful hills to meet our driver, who will then take us back to the hotel or to visit other petroglyphs.
