Visit the small Village of Socorroma. Panoramic view of Putre. Entering to the Lauca National Park, we discover a tremendous landscape surrounded by snow capped volcanoes and also a natural wildlife sanctuary with animals such as Guanacos, Llamas, Alpacas, Vicuña and Vizcacha. Amid these spectacular surroundings we find the Parinacota village and its Andean/Colonial architecture, where you will have the chance to meet some its native people.
