As the journey ascends toward the mountains, the desert gradually shifts in colour, revealing soft greens and warm ochres. Soon, the first spectacle appears: Laguna Miscanti, perched at 4,100 metres above sea level. Its deep cerulean waters mirror the surrounding volcanoes, and a gentle walk offers glimpses of the wildlife that thrives in this high-altitude sanctuary.
A little farther on lies Laguna Miñiques, a more compact, oval-shaped lagoon whose still surface creates an intimate counterpoint to Miscanti’s vastness.
Just beyond these two alpine gems awaits Piedras Rojas, a surreal landscape where rust-red rocks spill across salt flats, framed by distant volcanic peaks. A self-paced walk allows you to fully absorb the immensity and drama of this extraordinary setting.
