Highlights
Around 7 in the morning you reach the Lejía lagoon, 1.9 km2 and 4,200 meters above sea level. Its waters are frozen during the winter months. Here a stop for breakfast is made observing the stunning landscape of the area, dominated by the Chiliques, Láscar, Aguas Calientes and Acamarachi volcanoes. It is not strange to run into vicuñas, flamingos and even gnomes that roam freely through the sector that remains virtually virgin. After feeding, the last section is carried out by vehicle for a couple more minutes until reaching the slopes of the Láscar volcano.

Itinerary
Lascar volcano corresponds to the most active in the north of Chile. Its summit consists of six craters, where the central crater emanates a constant fumarole with high sulfur concentration, visible from several kilometers away. The ascent is not difficult, but it does take a couple of hours due to its steep slope. Arriving at the top (5,592 meters) you will find a spectacular view!

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.
