Visit to Rainbow Valley
We will go through a valley of rock formations of intense and varied colors, ranging from red and orange to green and blue. The name "Rainbow Valley" comes from the wide range of colors found in the rocks and sediment layers in the area. Erosion and the minerals present in the soil have given rise to these vibrant tones, creating a surreal and fascinating landscape. *Breakfast Included*

Ojos del Salar Lagoon is an important habitat for various bird species, especially flamingos. If we are lucky, we will have the chance to observe flamingos in their natural environment.
Visit to Laguna Tebenquiche
Tebenquinche Lagoon is a saltwater lagoon, meaning its waters have a high salt concentration. During the rainy season, the lagoon can fill with water, creating a natural mirror that reflects the sky and surrounding mountains, resulting in a truly breathtaking landscape. Watching the sunset from this lagoon is an unforgettable experience—one you simply can’t miss on your journey!

The Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons are located approximately 110 kilometers southeast of San Pedro de Atacama, in the Socaire commune. These stunning lagoons were formed due to volcanic activity in the region. Miscanti Lagoon is the largest of the two and is known for its intense turquoise color, surrounded by towering mountains and volcanoes. Miñiques Lagoon, on the other hand, is smaller and sits near the Miñiques Volcano, which has a conical shape and is covered in snow during winter. Due to the high altitude, it is important to take precautions to prevent altitude sickness. *Includes Breakfast and Lunch*
