You will begin the tour departing from San Pedro de Atacama heading southeast on a journey of approximately one hour, during which you'll observe the changing colors of the desert landscape. On this tour, you'll visit two attractions depending on the time of day you choose: the Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache & Vallecito.
The Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache are a group of seven lagoons that you can explore along a trail. You'll have the opportunity to make stops to admire and take photographs of this stunning landscape.
Vallecito, on the other hand, is a less-explored area near San Pedro de Atacama. Here, you’ll feel as if you’re walking on the surface of another planet. Additionally, you can visit the abandoned bus, also known as the magic bus, where you'll make a stop to enjoy the scenery and take pictures.
You can choose between the following options:
Group tour
Private tour
*If you take the morning tour, you’ll visit Vallecito first and then the Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache. If you take the afternoon tour, you’ll visit the Hidden Lagoons first and then Vallecito.
*If you are interested in making this tour and the Astronomical Tour the same day, be organized with your itinerary because the end time of this activity could overlap with the start time of the Astronomical Tour. Consider leaving 45 minutes between the end of one tour and the beginning of the other.
*The pickup service included does not operate to nor from accommodations located outside the urban area of San Pedro de Atacama, accommodations located in ayllus near San Pedro de Atacama (Quitor, Yaye, Checar, Sequitor, Solor, and Coyo), nor accomodations in the town of Toconao.
The maximum altitude reached is similar to the one in San Pedro de Atacama (2450 m), so you do not need a previous acclimation.
This excursion can be made every day of the year, except for January 1 and December 25.
No, for now it is not allowed swimming in any of the Baltinache Hidden Lagoons.
The vehicle will depend on the size of the group, having a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (or similar) for 12 to 18 people.
