Piedras Rojas + Altiplanische lagunes en Salar de Atacama
Beschrijving
Toconao (Kunza Rincón perdido) betovert door zijn eenvoud, rust van zijn mensen, speciaal klimaat, prachtige architectuur en ambachten; We bezoeken het marginale gebied van de Salar de Atacama, bekend als Laguna Chaxa, gelegen in Sector Soncor R.N.L. F. Later gingen we richting het zuidoosten (Cordillera de los Andes) om ons te vestigen in een Socaire Altiplanic Town, we bezochten de kerk en leerden over de landbouw. Eenmaal geïnstalleerd in het cordon van de Andes gingen we ongeveer. Op 4200 meter boven zeeniveau om de lagunes van Miscanti en Meñiques te ontmoeten. Deze lagunes behoren tot de R. N. Los F., gekenmerkt door vulkanen en bergachtige reliëfs zoals de Miscanti-heuvel en de Meñiques-vulkaan. Beide lagunes zijn ontstaan uit grondwater van smeltend ijs. We gaan verder langs de hellingen van de Zuid-Andes en gaan naar de Salar de Talar, toeristisch bekend als Piedras Rojas, waar de rotsen onderhevig zijn aan natuurlijke oxidatie en verwering.

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.
Our tour guide was Javier. He knew a lot about the Atacama Desert, the animals, and had good local recommendations. Very good people! The experience was very complete, including breakfast and lunch. They will finish very tired and happy with the tour.
I’ve been on many tours in many countries. Manuel was the best tour guide we have ever had! He was incredibly kind and helpful. You can tell he truly loves his country and has a passion for San Pedro de Atacama itself. He truly cares about his customers and wants them to have the best, authentic experience! Additionally, I did many tours while in San Pedro and this tour was my favorite! The nature and scenery is unearthly beautiful and pictures do not do this place justice!
We would give 6 stars if we could! We absolutely loved this tour and our tour guide Manuel. The tour was timed out perfectly and Manuel was very knowledgeable and engaging. Plus, all of the locations were absolutely gorgeous. We’d definitely recommend this tour!
Everything was excellent; the guide was very knowledgeable about the topic, the driving, the friendliness, and the breakfast was delicious in the Tropic of Capricorn 🫶🏼 and the lunch in Toconao. The landscapes of this tour are beautiful. I recommend.
Excellent..from the attendance in the workshop, transportation and attention and knowledge of the guide, in particular
