Live a memorable experience !!! Together with the Enjoy Atacama team, in Laguna Lejia there is a population of James, Chileans and Andean flamingos. We will also observe a particular volcanic formation, the maar of Cerro Overo (wide and low volcanic crater, produced by an eruption caused by underground water that comes into contact with hot lava or magma).
We continue our route to the Aguas Calientes II Lagoon, the road passes at the foot of several volcanoes and we can also see the constant activity that was millions of years ago. The typical fauna like culpeos foxes and vizcachas are usually observed. Upon arriving in Aguas Calientes we will make a stop to observe the landscape and fauna of the site, then we will visit a unique and surprising place; the Solitary Geyser in which an ice tower is formed inside which water continues to flow out.
We will start our tour early; 6:00 AM, from your hotel we will go to Laguna Lejía, a place of incomparable beauty.
We will have a privileged view of Lascar Volcano, the most active in northern Chile, and the fifth most active in the country, with its fumarole often observable even from San Pedro.
Located at 4000 meters above sea level. Its surface is 5.6 km2. Among its attractions we can highlight the extraordinary shades between gray and brown that contrast with the deep white of its crystallized surface product of evaporation.
Cerro Overo is a maar found at the foot of the Chiliques volcano and near Laguna Lejía, in the Antofagasta Region, in northern Chile. It is the result of a phreatomagmatic eruption, its maximum diameter is 600 m and its depth is 80 meters. The maar formed in postglacial times and erupted basalts that originated in the deep crust, without a magma chamber. The lavas are of lower crustal origin and are among the least evolved in northern Chile.
