Highlights
Discover the 7 hidden lagoons of Baltinache to see the crystal clear waters among rock and sand formations on a guided trip from San Pedro de Atacama. The hidden lagoons are 1 hour away from San Pedro. ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE Starting September 29, swimming or floating in the lagoons will no longer be allowed during the Baltinache Hidden Lagoons tour. This restriction occurs due to maintenance work and the necessary natural regeneration process of the lagoons. The measure aims to allow the ecosystem to complete its natural cycle and preserve its environmental conditions. This decision is part of the commitment to the protection and conservation of natural resources, promoting conscious, responsible, and sustainable tourism. NEW POINT ON THE ITINERARY To complement the experience, we will add a new stop to the tour: the famous Magic Bus, one of the most iconic spots in the region. Spanish

Itinerary
Walk to the beginning of the trail where you can visit the 7 lagoons. Surprise yourself with the crystal clear waters of the lagoons and ask yourself how such a thing is possible in the middle of nowhere. Since March 3, 2025, you can swim in one of the lagoons.
As part of the route to the Baltinache lagoons, we pass through the Llano de la Paciencia where we have the Cordillera de Sal on one side and the Cordillera de Domeyko on the other. That road takes about 1 hour to go and then another hour to return.

About San Pedro de Atacama
San Pedro de Atacama is an adobe oasis town in northern Chile, ringed by salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and some of the driest desert on earth.
San Pedro de Atacama is a village of low whitewashed adobe houses and dusty streets in an oasis of the Atacama Desert, at about 2,400 metres. Its adobe church goes back to the 17th century and has a roof of cactus wood, and the small Museo Arqueológico Gustavo Le Paige displays mummies and pottery from the desert's early peoples. The cone of Licancabur volcano stands over the town to the east.
