- Cordillera de la Sal - As part of the route to the Baltinache lagoons, we pass through the Llano de la Paciencia where we have the Cordillera de Sal on one side and the Cordillera de Domeyko on the other. That road takes about 1 hour to go and then another hour to return.
- Magic Bus Atacama - We will travel to the valley of the abandoned bus, also known as the ‘Magic Bus’. Iconic for its rustic appearance and perfect setting, you can take advantage of this time to capture the perfect photo.

Great tour with Francisco ! - Amazing tour! All because of the tour guide FRANCISCO… he made it a memorable one.
All the details he gave and the information about the process of these lagunas left us with a greater sense of appreciation to the nature around us. Really spectacular experience and the views are just amazing.
The breakfast experience was also 10/10.
I really recommend this tour with Francisco and as he said: ENJOY THE RIDE!

A magical and unforgettable journey ✨ - A truly unforgettable experience! Thank you very much to Guide Jordan for explaining us with such love and dedication. It is also worth noting the musicalization of the trip, with Andean themes, which did not go unnoticed and made the transfers much more enjoyable. Also, the breakfast was very delicious and was hearty. Super recommended!

Beautiful tour with excellent guided tour of the Baltinache lagoons - The Baltinache Hidden Lagoons tour was a particularly beautiful one thanks to our guide Francesco. He enriched the tour with detailed explanations of the geology, history and wildlife of the region and answered each question patiently.
The Baltinache lagoons are very beautiful, with their clear, turquoise waters, which form a fascinating contrast to the barren desert landscape. Even the driver, whose name unfortunately came to mind, took us safely and comfortably through the rough terrain.
The tour was well organized and provided enough time to enjoy the lagoons. I can only recommend them to anyone!

Really good tour - highly recommended! - First the guide Francisco was excellent. He really knew his stuff, was passionate about it and was very kind to the group. His choice of music went down well with me (eg. Pink Floyd , the music of my youth in the UK).
He collected 5,000 pesos from me for park entry which in fact should have been 3,000 as I am so old (!) but in fact I was happy to contribute 2,000 to the park upkeep and to make me feel a little younger! 😀
The driver was also good over some rough roads and the breakfast (as for Geysers tour yesterday) was excellent. Remarkable how tasty a breakfast can be in the fresh air.
I’m sorry that lithium mining is causing great problems for the environment. Maybe the government should require the mining company to take sustainability proposals seriously? But I know nothing about Chilean politics.

Picturesque Lagoons - We took this tour with Franco as our guide. His English was great and he explained everything very well.
The Lagoons were very picturesque and it was very hot. Lots of suncream and water required.
The food and Pisco that was supplied was great.
Some of the the roads were very bumpy. I'm glad we took the tour and didn't drive ourselves.
