Visit to the Altiplánic Lagoons Miscanti and Miñiques

The Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons are located approximately 110 kilometers southeast of San Pedro de Atacama, in the Socaire commune. They were formed due to volcanic activity in the area. The Miscanti Lagoon is the largest and is characterized by its intense turquoise color, surrounded by imposing mountains and volcanoes. Laguna Miñiques, for its part, is smaller and is located near the Miñiques volcano, conical in shape and covered with snow in winter. Due to the altitude, it is important to take precautions to avoid altitude sickness.

Visit to the Altiplanic village of Socaire

We will travel through time and visit a small and picturesque town with a typical architecture of the region, where adobe buildings and thatched roofs predominate. The town is surrounded by impressive landscapes, with mountains, volcanoes and vast expanses of desert terrain.

Visit to Piedras Rojas Viewpoint

The viewpoint owes its name to the reddish rocks that dominate the landscape and contrast with the intense blue of the sky and the surrounding lagoons. From the viewpoint, we will enjoy an impressive view of the mountains, volcanoes and desert landscapes characteristic of the area.
