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.
