Atacama Salt Flat & Chaxa Lagoon - Half Day Private Tour

Laguna Chaxa is an area that represents the formation of the Atacama Salt Flat, where we'll find a unique and fascinating ecosystem. This area belongs to the Los Flamingos National Reserve, due to the presence of a colony of these in the zone, which is why it is considered a location of great ecological value. The lagoon also has infrastructure with bathrooms and park ranger control. During our visit, I will shed light about the hydrological processes and the formation of mineral salts here. By understanding the natural processes that form this Salar, you will have a better idea of how fragile the ecosystems are, hopefully contributing to bringing more aware to the actions that might damage them. If you come with me to see this place, I promise you will not regret it. I will share my great passion for these ecosystems, which hide a magical dynamic beneath their calm appearance. Come and discover the secrets under our feet together .
