Itinerary

Laguna Cejar

2 hours Admission not included

Travelers who visit Laguna Cejar will have the opportunity to experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in its crystal-clear waters, similar to those of the Dead Sea. This phenomenon is possible thanks to the high salinity, which provides a natural and relaxing flotation.
Ojos del Salar

one hour

Upon arrival, visitors will find two circular freshwater wells surrounded by the arid desert landscape. These wells, known as the Ojos del Salar, offer a striking contrast to their desert surroundings, reflecting the sky and surrounding mountains.
Laguna Tebenquinche

1 h 30 min

With its saline waters and extensive plains, the lagoon transforms into a natural mirror that reflects the blue sky during the day and offers a spectacle of warm, golden colors at sunset.
