Description

Join me on this exciting one-day hiking program in the Laguna Cejar!

During this one-day hiking trip we will have the chance to explore the northern sector of the Salar de Atacama. Surrounded by mountains and steaming volcanoes, this is the largest salt flat located in the north of Chile, 55 km south of San Pedro de Atacama.

We will start our adventure by exploring the Cejar Lagoon, located right in the middle of the Atacama Salt Flat, (8500 feet/2,600 meters) above sea level. Participants will be amazed by this set of salty and emerald-colored water lagoons that due to the density of the water they will be able to float without effort. Also, we will visit the Ojos del Salar, two round pools of fresh water.

Finally we will go to the Tebinquiche Lagoon to appreciate the specatcular sunset, in a wonderful natural spectacle due to the contrast between the Cordilleras de la Sal and Domeyko and the Cordillera de los Andes.

This hiking day in Laguna Cejar will be a great opportunity to discover one of Chile’s most beautiful natural treasures, so if you are interested in this hiking program request to book this trip and get ready for an amazing journey!

About lead guide, Christian Fernandez:

I’m originally from Argentina, but live in Chile since 1998. Now I’m settled in the north of Chile, in San Pedro de Atacama, beautiful town in the heart of the Andean section of the dry Atacama dessert.

From there I organize many expeditions to beautiful peaks on a weekly basis. I’ve done more than 300 high altitude ascents, and more than 25 peaks over 6000 metres.

I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Christian guided me up Cerro toco and was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the area, the mountains, you name it. If you consider going up a volcano, I can highly recommend him. Thanks Christian for an amazing experience.

This is an easy assent! I ended up paying $200 for a two hour experience and an apple and piece of chocolate ( lunch 😳) If you plan on doing this hike which I highly recommend, don’t book it with these guys - total rip off!! You can go with a group for about $70 if you book locally from San Pedro! It’s a beautiful view from the summit! It’s not even hard to get there ( they drive you most of the way!) My guide was lovely, great chat, nice person but trust me $200 is a massive massive massive rip off for this ‘experience’

The trip was a great experience with a wonderful view! However, unfortunately the tour description does not fit with the actual tour. There was no breakfast with acclimatisation and the duration was shorter. Most important the tour was not guided by Christian, but by some of his employes which did not speak English so we didn't get much explanations except some fragments that we understood in Spanish. Therefore we were a litlle disappointed concerning the guide of this tour.

Are you up for a rewarding adventure - go for the Lascar Volcano. Our very experienced guide Christian Fernandez made sure everything was in place for a great experience, from safe driving to making breakfast to setting a good pace for reaching the top without being too affected by the altitude. Stunning views and a great sense of accomplishment, our thanks to Christian and explore-share.com for a truly memorable hike. Best regards, Erik (37) and Christopher (30), Norway
