We will start the tour leaving San Pedro de Atacama towards the southeast. We will travel for an hour in which we can see the variation of colours of the desert landscape. We will arrive at the entrance of the hidden lagoons of Baltinache, where we can use the bathrooms before continuing the tour. We will follow the path that will take us through the five lagoons that make up this wonderful landscape, of which only the first and last can be used for swimming. Due to the amount of salt they contain, you will be able to experience the floating effect similar to that of the Dead Sea. After having known this attraction in the middle of the Atacama desert, we will begin our return, passing through the entrance facilities to use the bathrooms and take advantage of the showers, in order to remove the salt from the lagoons. On the way back, we will watch the sunset in the desert before reaching the centre of San Pedro de Atacama.
