San Pedro de Atacama - day 2

We woke up super late and spent the morning in our Airbnb. For today we booked the tour to Laguna Cejar. We were meeting up in the city center at 14:20 to spend the afternoon touring one part of the Atacama desert. Firstly we drove to Ojos de Salar- two craters which are the lakes nowadays. Very close is located Laguna Tebenquiche where you can see if you are lucky large colonies of flamingos 🦩. This lagoon is also very special as due to salt and other minerals one of the oldest microorganisms were founded here. Last spot was the Laguna Cejar and Laguna Piedra reserve. The both lagoons are located walking distance from each other. Laguna Cejar has amazing turquoise color but the water level is at the moment very low so we could see the lagoon only from distance. Last stop and highlight of the trip was Laguna Piedra where is it allow to swim. The lake has very high concentration of salt (even higher then Dead Sea) and you can just float and enjoy the landscape. At the end of the tour we stopped in the middle of nowhere to enjoy snacks and Pisco Sour before returning to San Pedro.En savoir plus
