Tour to Laguna Cejar and Tibenquinche
Description
We will visit a series of lagoons inside the Salar de Atacama, the largest salt flat in Chile. We will first visit the Ojos del Salar, two deep wells of fresh water in the middle of the desert, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. Then we will visit the Tebinquinche Lagoon, where we will walk along its path to appreciate the magnificent views, where the sky merges with the desert and the whiteness of the salt. The tour continues in the famous Laguna Cejar and Laguna Piedra, surrounded by green and yellow grass that highlights the color of the water, contemplating a unique landscape of turquoise waters and volcanoes. In the latter we can enjoy a bath with which we will experience the flotation effect, similar to that of the Dead Sea. To end the day, we will enjoy a snack watching the sunset overlooking these lagoons. Bathing is only allowed in Laguna Piedra and Ojos del Salar. Bathing is not allowed in Laguna Cejar or Laguna Tebinquinche.

The tour was good, except that it did not match the description on Viator. The guide was good, the vehicle was clean, and it matched about 80% of what was sold to us. The trick is that by booking it in advance from Viator, you are dealing with multiple layers of wholesalers and a little bit gets lost in translation between them. Considering we had a car, it was not worth it for us personally. If you have no vehicle or travel as single, read well, reconfirm many times and you will likely be ok. Also, keep in mind that you will be picked up from hotel but they will not bring you back.
This is a very pleasant tour to the Atacama, quite close to San Pedro. Victoria was a great guide. Very little walking is necessary. The "floating" in the lagoon was really nice. The refreshments were very tasty.
Muchas gracias, nos encanta saber que disfrutó de la experiencia y de nuestros tours. Lo hacemos con mucho gusto y profesionalidad. Saludos de parte de todo el equipo de GUIASTOURS.
Fantastic experience.!! The travel agency Pukarumi was perfect em everything!The Guide Anita em her driver was very good, made the tour better impossible! The view of the lake with the volcano Licacanbur was incredible! The snack with pisco sauer was excellent!! We loved!
This tour was an excellent way to start our time in San Pedro de Atacama! Floating in Laguna Cejar was so refreshing paired with an excellent view. I appreciated seeing the two different lakes and taking in the gorgeous viewpoints along the way. We ended the trip with some delicious snacks and the essential Chilean drink: pisco sours. I will say be prepared for the entry fees for each park as they were a bit steeper in price than I had anticipated. I suggest coming prepared with cash (about $20.000 CLP/person). Nevertheless, I found this tour to be very worthwhile and one of my highlights from my time in the desert.
Muchas gracias, nos alegramos que disfrutarás de tu experiencia. Saludos
Really cool tour! We went to two lagoons (one of which we swam in). Afterwards, we stopped and had a snack on the side of the road and watched the sun set behind the Andes. Awesome experience and I would definitely recommend.
we are happy for your opinion and that your experience was fantastic, Thank you very much
The tour was very fun! Seeing the lagoons was a great experience in San Pedro de Atacama, but swimming in them was even better! Keep in mind the salt lagoon is NOT a hot spring so it's a little cool. Furthermore, we saw flamingoes and salt flats scattered amongst the volcano strewn landscape. Very unique experience!
