BALTINACHE LAGOONS
The Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache are one of the most striking places in the Atacama Desert. Surrounded by salt flats and mountains, these lagoons stand out for their intense turquoise waters, white salt formations, and vast landscapes that seem almost otherworldly.
During the excursion, you can walk along designated trails, observe different lagoons, and enjoy a floating experience in highly saline waters, depending on local conditions and regulations.
It is an ideal excursion for those who want to combine nature, relaxation, and photography. Its low physical difficulty makes it an excellent option for the first few days of your stay in San Pedro de Atacama.
