We leave the hotel at 05.00 am to arrive at 08.00 am. To see the Tatio Geysers at 4.320 m.a.s.l. The geysers are located 90 km Northwest of San Pedro. They are shaped by a series of fumaroles that erupt water and steam of volcanic origin. We will see this spectacle at dawn in its entire splendor. After Tatio, we visit the old village of Caspana and its church. Caspana lies in a fertile valley in a deep gorge. Caspana has a large cultivated area of approximately 46 ha. in terraced style (Inca style) and extensive fields of flowers and vegetables in the riverbeds. All this makes Caspana a mystical Andean village. After visiting the “El Tatio Geysers”, we will visit the Puritama hot springs, a native name meaning "hot water". The place is located in the middle of the desert, a little more than 30 kilometers north of San Pedro de Atacama, 3.475 meters above sea level.  For the past years they have been managed by the Counsel of Pueblos Atacameños who take care of maintaining the installations and facilities. These springs were known for centuries by the locals, but only some years ago were opened to the public and tourism, which is why they still they preserve their purity and original charm. Surrounded by desert, the Baños de Puritama possess modern installations and adequate comfort for those who want to enjoy nature and the imposing desert landscape. The waters are tepid, refreshing and revitalizing. They flow from the subterranean nappe to a temperature close to the 33ºC.  The waters of the Baños de Puritama are sulphurous and said to alleviate rheumatic illnesses, exhaustion and the stress. The zone that surrounds the Baños de Puritama is famous around the world for its archaeological deposits, especially San Pedro of Atacama.

Visit a place with beautiful shapes and colors located at 8km from San Pedro de Atacama, where we can walk and enjoy a great geological spectacle that has been repeatedly compared with the surface of the moon, with its angular geology and rocks sculpted by millenniums of erosion. Visit the salt caverns before climbing the mayor sand dune where we can marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors that appear over the Andes at sunset.

We start early in the morning to visit the town of Toconao, a 600 inhabitants town who make their living through agriculture and handcrafts. We will look at typical handcrafts made of llama wool, cactus wood, volcanic rock and alpaca wool. We will visit the Tower of San Lucas, which is a National Monument and symbol of the town. The houses of Toconao are constructed mostly from liparita, a very white stone extracted from the nearby quarry. We continue the trip to see the Salar de Atacama (salt lake) and enter the National Flamingo Reserve at Chaxa Lagoon sector. This National Reserve is formed by a gigantic depression of more than 3.500km2, located at 2.300 m.a.s.l. The Salar is the biggest salt field in Chile and its large quantities of salt make the surface white and rough. The dryness and altitude of the salt field allow an excellent panoramic view of the area. The bottom of the salt field is composed of an enormous lake, which receives water from mountain, rivers and melting snow. As it has no runoff, several small lagoons have formed, where we can observe the three types of flamingos living in the area, the English, the Andean and the Chilean. We continue towards the Altiplano. We will stop at Socaire village at 3.300 m.a.s.l.  to acclimatize and photograph the small church of San Bartolomé. It is the last village of Lican Antai or Atacameño culture for the travelers on their way to Salta in Argentina, along the Sico Pass international road. We continue our trip to Miscanti and Miñique lagoons of crystalline water and intense blue color at 4.350 and 4.100 m.a.s.l. Surrounded by numerous volcanoes and mountains, they are a habitat for a variety of species, such as the Chilean flamingo, the small parina, the playero and the horned crane, among others. In the surrounding scenery, the hills of Miscanti and Meñiques can be seen, and the area is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve.

Caspana has a large cultivated area of approximate 46 ha. in terraced style (inca style) and extensive fields of flowers and vegetables in the riverbeds. All this makes Caspana a mystical Andean village. We continue to Pukara de Lasana. Managing to shelter about 1.000 persons, this fortress dates from the 12th Century. It as constructed entirely from irregular stones, high up on the edge of a cliff on the Loa River. This fortress is a very narrow conglomerate of alleys that join together approximately 110 buildings with rectangular and circular rooms through small rectangular or square doors and some small windows. On our way to Chiu-Chiu, we will visit the petroglyphs, sculpted in liparita stone panels. In these petroglyphs there are images of camelid herds and shepherds who guide them. There are also geometric drawings in the shape of the sun, animals such as ostriches, lizards, toads, and snakes, and human figures dressed in ritual and/or daily costumes. Our last visit is the town of Chiu-Chiu and its church. It has invaluable historical wealth, evident in its many archaeological artifacts. This trip ends in Calama Airport or San Pedro de Atacama. Return to your hotel at 16:00.

We will visit the Toconao town located at 2,475 meters of altitude. It is an oasis, in where people cultivate all types of fruit. In front of its square are the Church and Bell tower of San Lucas, declared a National Monument. It occupies an extension of 100 kilometers in length by 80 of wide. The salt is product of the underground water outcrop that, saturated of salts, evaporates leaving scabs rich in salt and minerals. The rivers fed by Andean snows traverse the area allowing the creation of multiple oasis’s. This is the place where the “Atacameño” culture was developed. The air is extraordinarily dry here, which gives it a perfect transparency. The salt scab has been opened to leave space to small lagoons that are favorite habitat of aquatic birds, particularly Flamingoes, Taguas and Guallatas. The most important is the Chaxa lagoon. The Atacama saltlake is located in the center of the most barren desert of the world. Salt fields and salt lakes are abundant in this place. It is well-known for its strong winds due to its proximity with the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains. We will continue our tour by the great Atacama saltflat, which has a surface of 12,000 km2 and of immense beauty. We will have the opportunity to admire the great variety of flamingoes and migratory birds that have found in the enormous salt their natural habitat; these birds provide a very peculiar atmosphere to the sector. Here we will be able to find a great amount of salt similar to ocean salt; this phenomenon has allowed diverse animals like reptiles, insects and birds live here. At the end of this trip we will admire a spectacular sunset, enjoying the silence and the peace of the salt before.
