What To Expect
Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache
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.
Cordillera de la Sal
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.

5.00The tour was spectacular, we made a first stop for breakfast in the middle of the desert with a beautiful view of volcanoes and mountains. Our guide Brandon was 10/10 gave great explanations and was very communicative
Amazing experience

5.00The guide used a WhatsApp chat to coordinate where they were when picking us up which made things easy. The guide was very informative and one thing you will notice from this tour company is they avoid the crowds by going in the opposite direction of them making our experience more enjoyable. The walk around the lagoons was incredible and we learned a lot then we made our way to the swimming lagoon and our guide was more than happy to take all the photos you need. Was amazing floating in the cold water and seeing nothing but desert and mountains. They had a nice spread of food for us when we got out and robes to keep us warm. Highly recommend.
Worth every minute!

5.00Nice trip, Ana Paula and Claudio are very kind! A calmer tour for those who want a smoother but unique experience in salt baths. The guide was very attentive to questions and the history of the site. I recommend it 100%!
