Suggested Itinerary

San Pedro de Atacama-Green Lagoon-Dali Desert-Sol de Mañana geysers-Red Lagoon
Depart San Pedro de Atacama at 6:30 am by minibus for an exciting 3-day excursion. Cross into Bolivia, passing by the Chile and Bolivia immigration offices. Once on the Bolivian side, at 4400m above sea level, we changed vehicles to a 4WD Jeep with a maximum capacity of 6 people. We start in the Bolivian high plains, visiting places like the Green Lagoon (toxic copper water) and Laguna Blanca, located at the foot of the big Licancabur volcano at 6000m. Continue to the Dali Desert, where Salvador Dali found his inspiration from boulders sprinkled in the middle of the desert. There you can admire surrealistic landscapes, thermal water pools, and the Sol de Mañana geysers –intermittent springs coming up at 100º C. Walk carefully next to fumaroles and steaming craters filled with boiling pots of mud at 150-200 Cº. The journey ends at Laguna Colorada, an intense red-colored lake that acts as the main nesting center for thousands of flamingos of 3 different species. These places are at an average height of 4500m above sea level and it is possible to see endemic flora and fauna such as flamingos, vicunas, and some other animals. The night will be spent in rooms of 6 people. It can get very cold, especially during the winter months of June and July so bring extra warm clothes along like a scarf and wool hat to keep warm. NOTE: You need to arrive in Atacama one day before the trek departs
