We will pick you up at your hotel to leave San Pedro de Atacama and go to this group of lagoons located between the Salt and Domeyko mountain ranges. But first, we will visit the abandoned bus, place where we will be able to have breakfast. Then, we will begin a very short walk to a close hill, from where we will have a high view of the places around. Once ended, we will take our vehicle again to go to the hidden lagoons of Baltinache, where we can bathe in the first and last of the seven lagoons of crystal clear water and varied depths. Because of this the blue tones vary from one to another. In addition, the salt concentration in each one of them is very high, similar phenomenon that the one that occurs in the Dead Sea, so you will experience a flotation effect that will prevent you to dip in them. After this, we will go back to San pedro de Atacama, where we will end our activity.

*The order of the visiting places is subject to changes the same day of the tour.
