Itinerary
Travelers who visit Laguna Cejar will have the opportunity to experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in its crystal-clear waters, similar to those of the Dead Sea. This phenomenon is possible thanks to the high salinity, which provides a natural and relaxing flotation.
Upon arrival, visitors will find two circular freshwater wells surrounded by the arid desert landscape. These wells, known as the Ojos del Salar, offer a striking contrast to their desert surroundings, reflecting the sky and surrounding mountains.
With its saline waters and extensive plains, the lagoon transforms into a natural mirror that reflects the blue sky during the day and offers a spectacle of warm, golden colors at sunset.

Excellent experience and I stand out above all the Driver Service and Guide. Above all I would like to highlight our super guide Caro: attentive, dynamic, with a great handling of all the information of the area (fauna, flora, geography...). I also emphasize its permanent bilingualism so that we could all understand and take advantage of the tour. The amazing cocktail too, varied boards and fruit. Recommended at a thousand percent.

We took three tours with Layana Agency. The Valley of the Moon, the Laguna Céjar and the Geyser del Tatio. In the three of us we had a very good experience, in the Valley of the Moon we played with Manu, an excellent guide, explained everything very well and he made the tour very entertaining, he really dedicates himself very well to his work. The other two tours we had with Andrea, excellent guide, good disposition, took wonderful photos and gave us the time to explain and answer all the questions. Andrea speaks Spanish, English and Portuguese.

Thanks Carolina and Cesar for the beautiful excursion to Cejar Lagoon and Piedra Lagoon. Super recommended. Thank you!
Grazie mille per la vostra recensione! Siamo felici di sapere che avete apprezzato l’escursione alla Laguna Cejar e alla Laguna Piedra. Carolina e Cesar saranno molto contenti di leggere le vostre parole. Grazie per la raccomandazione e speriamo di rivedervi presto a San Pedro de Atacama. 🌵✨
Very beautiful place, but the guide was not up to scratch. While Carolina was friendly and respectful to all the passengers, her way of expressing herself and delivering information about the places we visited was not the best, she was very poorly understood the English she was trying to speak and what she was verbalizing in Spanish was also unclear, this unfortunately made those of us who were in the group lose interest. It would be good to encourage the constant improvement of the verbal communication of the guides and to be able to polish the languages spoken by the passengers who usually receive. Really a shame that we didn't understand what he meant since I imagine, the place has quite a lot of hidden information that would have been interesting to know.
Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que la comunicación durante el tour no haya cumplido completamente sus expectativas. Tomamos muy en serio este tipo de comentarios, especialmente en relación con la claridad de las explicaciones y el manejo de idiomas en grupos internacionales. Agradecemos también que destaque la amabilidad y respeto de Carolina. Revisaremos internamente estos puntos para seguir mejorando la experiencia de nuestros pasajeros.
The visit to Laguna Cejar was guided by Carolina Pinto, the truth is that she showed off with Caesar the driver They took care of taking our best pictures with the best layout in the world so don’t be afraid to ask for help in that. Very clear and complete explanations of the place We're really more than grateful for this outing. They accompanied with the same energy the group of tourists that they had to guide. Thank you very much Layana Travel for counting them in your ranks 🧡
