Piedras Rojas + Lagunes altiplaniques et Salar de Atacama
Description
Toconao (Kunza Rincón perdido) enchante par sa simplicité, le calme de ses habitants, son climat particulier, sa belle architecture et son artisanat ; Nous visiterons la zone marginale du Salar de Atacama connue sous le nom de Laguna Chaxa située dans le secteur Soncor R.N.L. F. Plus tard, nous nous sommes dirigés vers le sud-est (Cordillera de los Andes) pour nous installer dans une ville sociaire de l'Altiplanic, nous avons visité son église et découvert son agriculture. Une fois installés dans le cordon des Andes nous nous dirigeons env. A 4200 m d'altitude pour rencontrer les lagunes Miscanti et Meñiques. Ces lagunes appartiennent à la R. N. Los F., caractérisée par des volcans et des reliefs montagneux tels que la colline Miscanti et le volcan Meñiques. Les deux lagons sont nés des eaux souterraines de la fonte des glaces. En continuant le long des pentes des Andes du Sud, nous nous dirigeons vers le Salar de Talar Touristiquement connu sous le nom de Piedras Rojas, où les roches sont soumises à une oxydation et à une altération naturelles.

The original excursion was canceled and replaced by another much shorter one (2.5 hours less) and with fewer stops for the same price. Agency refused to give a discount. The other agencies nearby are cheaper than this one booked months in advance on the internet... Even though the excursion was interesting, I do not recommend this agency!
Hola, gracias por sus comentarios. Queremos aclarar lo siguiente: el Parque Nacional Piedras Rojas permaneció cerrado durante varios días consecutivos, por causas ajenas a nuestra voluntad. Por ello, le ofrecimos dos opciones: una excursión más corta (Salar de Atacama) con un descuento parcial, o sustituir Piedras Rojas por la Laguna Lejía, una excursión igualmente espectacular, sin descuento, ya que no se trataba de un servicio reducido. Usted eligió la segunda opción. En cuanto al precio, reservado a través de Viator, incluye la comisión de la plataforma, lo que explica la diferencia con respecto a la reserva directa con agencias locales. Nos alegra que haya disfrutado de la excursión, como lo confirman sus comentarios positivos sobre nuestro guía. Gracias por su comprensión. 🙏
During our stay in San Pedro de Atacama, we did all our tours with this agency and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We especially highlight their punctuality, the comfort and cleanliness of the transfers, as well as the quality of the breakfasts and lunches, which met and even exceeded our expectations. Without a doubt, the best part of the experience was the guides. We want to especially thank Lorena and Vanessa, with whom we did two tours. Their professionalism, approachability, and extensive knowledge made each tour very enriching. In addition, they always gave us enough time to enjoy each place, take photographs, and get to know the surroundings calmly, without feeling rushed. We also did the Rainbow Tour with Manuel, who was very nice and friendly throughout the entire tour. He shared interesting knowledge about each place and, like the other guides, gave us all the time necessary to explore and enjoy each stop calmly. On the other hand, we did the Valle de la Luna AM tour with Lucas, who was also an excellent guide. His experience, willingness, and good attitude made the tour very entertaining and interesting, accompanying us at all times and providing clear and valuable information about each site visited. In short, it was an unforgettable experience. The entire team showed great commitment to the passengers, making each tour comfortable, safe, and very well organized. We recommend this agency 100% and, if we return to San Pedro de Atacama, we will undoubtedly choose them again. Thank you very much for making our trip such a special experience!
It is a drama to book... the page redirects you to a tour operator. They limit you to having to visit with a tour. The place is pretty.. But it is seen much better from the road (a viewpoint) and it is free. The altitude affects you if you are not acclimated.
Excellent tour and excellent tour service. Did two tours with Whipala while in San Pedro and both were spectacular. Daniel is an amazing guide and every stop was incredible and well planned!
Incredible place, surreal landscapes, it is well worth the visit.
We took 4 tours with Whipala. The driving on narrow and sometimes complex roads was responsible. The guides showed preparation and knowledge. The breakfast included fresh and quality ingredients. I recommend them; it is clear that they know what they are doing.
At the end of the tour our eyes are full of stunning images. Also, Manuel explained us what we're going to see letting us understand what the nature created and how. At the end we had a tasty lunch in Toconao. Experience recommended!
Without a doubt, it was the best of the desert, far surpassing the Valley of the Moon or Mars. We have not yet gone to the geysers. It is advisable to do it with a rented car; the route is fully paved up to Red Stones (although there are some areas with potholes) and is only dirt road to reach the lagoons. Unmissable!
It is one of the "must see" attractions in Atacama, however, was with a greater expectation than I found there. We did the tour without agency, the road is great and the information on the site is accurate. However, considering that it is a destination that lives from tourism, the life of the tourist is not facilitated. You have to buy the ticket on the website in advance and book the visit time. Then you have to check in at Soccaire 1h before the time you bought the ticket. There they show you a "map" on a table and take science from the distance to the attractions and what you can see along the way, you must also inform the plaque of your vehicle. The expectation is only increasing. Here you arrive in Salar de Aguas Calientes Sur - Piedras Rojas. The arrival of the road is beautiful, has even a mirror. You park the car and already approached by a park guard, he takes your ticket he directs the path to go and go. There are bathrooms at the entrance of this attraction. Protect yourself, the wind is ugly, on the day we visited was 70km/h according to the guard parks and the access was back and forth by the same trail because of this. I mean, it was extremely uncomfortable. Although we were upset, we felt cold, with no desire to take off the gloves to take the photos. We arrived at the "red stones" in a walk of about 20 minutes, there is no difficulty in it, except for altitude if you are not acclimatized and then it is just contemplation. It's pretty, but we don't consider it an UAUUU. Our ticket was with this attraction first and then Lagunas Miscanti and Miniques. You take the road again, returning to Soccaire and entering the access to these Lagunas. Once again you present the ticket at the entrance and is presented to the "map" of the attraction and park rules. You drive to the mirrors of the lagoons, observe the landscape and return to San Pedro. It is beautiful, worth the visit, but for us it was not something that marked us. TIP: It is on this road that has the TRÓPICO DE CAPRICÓRNIO plaque that everyone stops to take a photo, but only has one plaque and is in the direction of the return to San Pedro de Atacama, approximately 67 km away from San Pedro. Be careful if you amend other attractions on this tour.
Excellent, super friendly guide and technically very knowledgeable.
