We take a van to the Tatio Geysers. Along the way, an important part of the Andean Plateau fauna –including vicuñas, flamingos, foxes, and others– can be appreciated. We walk across the reserve feeling the inner activity of the land with views to the Andes Mountain Range and the hot water springs from where steam rises. We return by van.

We leave in a van and travel to the borderline with Argentina to appreciate multicolored landscapes and the Andean Plateau Salt Flats. We explore different ecological floors, which allow us to see the diversity in flora and fauna. We come down from the van to feel what is like to walk over 4,000 m.a.s.l (13,123 f.a.s.l).

We take a van to Talabre, where we visit the archaeological site of Kezala with petroglyphs as old as 800 - 400 B.C.

We leave the hotel towards the southern area of the salt flat, from where we will begin to climb towards the slopes of the Andes mountain range. Our first stop will be in the town of Socaire, and then we will continue towards the Piedras Rojas sector in the Aguas Calientes salt flat. Here we will take a short walk with incredible views of the volcanoes and the salt flat. Then we will continue towards the high plateau lagoons of Miscanti and Miñiques, two large and beautiful bodies of water located at 4,200 meters above sea level. We will enjoy a walk surrounded by contrasts between the blue of the water and the reddish mountains of the high plateau. We continue towards our lunch spot and then return to the hotel.
