With this small-group tour, you will have the opportunity to visit one of the highlights in a more intimate way, sharing your day with other travellers but avoiding big groups:

Found within the Atacama Salt Flats is the Cejar Lagoon. This body of water is a saltwater swimming pool where you can float until your troubles fade away. Find yourself relaxing as you take in the views of the beautiful landscape paired against the turquoise waters, volcanoes and great expanse of the salar. Next up, you’ll visit the Salar Eyes, which are two freshwater round-shaped lagoons in the middle of one of the world’s driest deserts. To further add to your adventure, you’ll visit the impressive Tebinquinche Lagoon where you’ll stop to enjoy a view of the Andes reflected in the saltwater lagoon and, in summer you can observe how water evaporation forms a white mantle of salt.
