Salar de Atacama

Salar de Atacama

On the way, this tour stops in Toconao, a village with whitewashed houses and a typical church. This is okay, but it’s only really there to make the tour longer. We had an excellent guide, who also stopped on the way to show us typical trees, the place where they will build the new ALMA huge telescope array and other things. However, the highlight of this tour is the sunset at the Salar. The flamingos are amazing, and you are taken out by a guide from the nature reserve who explains flamingos breeding habits (in Spanish only). The sunset over the Andes was the most beautiful I have ever seen. This salt lake is so different from the one in Uyuni, so rough. It is truly amazing.
