Pick up between 07.00 and 7.40 a.m. From San Pedro de Atacama we leave early in the morning, heading to the south of the oasis, we continue through the basin of the Great Salar de Atacama, and we go to the National Reserve of the Flamingos Soncor sector (Laguna Chaxa), where we will visit a reproduction and nesting area (spring - summer) of these pink birds living in Chile. 

Then we continue through the Cordillera de Los Andes towards the Puna. During the trip it is possible to observe the numerous volcanoes of almost 6.000 m.a.s.l. like the Simba or Aguas Calientes (5.930 m.a.s.l.), the Pili or Acamarachi (6.050 m.a.s.l.) and the active Lascar. Their summits join us until we reach the Altiplanic Lagoons, Miscanti and Meñiques.

From the lagoons we continue to the Salar de Talar, where we will visit the amazing rock formations known as "Piedras Rojas". The views of the salt flat are breathtaking.  From here we return to San Pedro. During the journey we reach an altitude of approximately 4.200 m.a.s.l.

The whole trip of approximately 90 km is a real safari, which allows us to observe native birds and mammals, which inhabits the wetlands and streams that cross along the way until we reach the geothermal field of the Tatio Geysers.

Located more than 4,500 metres above sea level, surrounded by the Andes in a ghostly atmosphere, the Tatio Geysers offer an impressive spectacle every day at sunrise. Most of the time it is possible to see, thanks to the temperature differences, the steam vents and water jets that emerge like columns in this surreal phenomenon.

We continue our trip through the basin of the Salar de Atacama, now we visit the Ojos del Salar, fresh water pools of great depth located in the middle of nowhere. The excursion ends at the Tebinquiche Lagoon, where it is possible to appreciate a wide view over the Andes Mountain Range and the Salt Mountain range.
