Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache

You’ll depart San Pedro de Atacama heading southeast on a drive of about 1 hour, watching the tones of the Atacama Desert shift along the way. The goal: the Baltinache Hidden Lagoons, a group of 7 salt lagoons linked by an easy trail.

Along the route, there are stops for viewpoints and photos, perfect to capture the contrast between the desert and the turquoise waters. Then, you will head to the Vallecito area to see the Magic Bus, a classic attraction in the Atacama Desert.

After the visit, you’ll return to San Pedro de Atacama, wrapping up a must-do experience for travelers seeking nature, desert landscapes, and unforgettable photos in Atacama.
