Tour Details
A relaxing circuit through the Salar de Atacama's most iconic lagoons — float naturally in the high-salinity waters of Laguna Cejar, admire the freshwater Ojos del Salar, and close the day with sunset reflections at Laguna Tebenquiche. The tour begins at Laguna Cejar, known for a salt concentration high enough to float naturally, similar to the Dead Sea. It continues at Ojos del Salar, small freshwater lagoons contrasting with the arid salt flat, and closes at Laguna Tebenquiche, one of the best spots to see volcano and sky reflections on calm water.
