We'll start the tour with a visit to the pre-Hispanic town of Socaire, characterized by its cultivated terraces. Then we'll head to the Altiplano, where we'll visit Laguna Miscanti and Laguna Miñiques, habitat for aquatic birds and mammals such as red foxes and vicuñas. We will continue to the Salar de Talar (also known as Salar de Águas Calientes) and the Piedras Rojas viewpoint, from where we will see these reddish volcanic stones that will surprise you with their shape and the exceptional natural environment where they are located.
The tour continues to Salar de Atacama, the largest in Chile and the third largest in the world. There, we will walk along the paths of Laguna Chaxa, nesting place and habitat of the three species of flamingos present in Chile: Andean, Chilean and James. Finally, we will visit the village of Toconao, its Church of San Lucas and its characteristic orchards.
