Itinerary

We start the excursion about 16:00 hrs.

Be part of the Andean culture and appreciate the beautiful handcrafts made of volcanic stone, Cactus wood and Llama wool in the picturesque and small village of Toconao. Then, in accompanied by our skilled guides travel through the vast Atacama Salt Lake, one the worlds largest. Discover how life survives in the salty environment.
Walk over one of the largest salt crusts and have to look at the interesting biotic relationship between the dry environment, water coming from Los Andes and the animals that live there. Observe the beautiful and surprising flamingos, one of the better adapted birds to the harsh environment and climate that characterizes the place. Discover the micro organic life, surviving in Salt concentrations even higher than the sea, life that allows the subsistence of many insects, reptilian and birds, which change this harsh plateau into an extraordinary habitat full of surprises. To finish the day, enjoy the peace and the silence of a sunset in this special place. Return to San Pedro de Atacama about 20:45 hrs.
