About This Tour

A private tour to three real, distinct salt-flat features near San Pedro de Atacama: Cejar Lagoon, famous for water so salty you float without effort, the perfectly round Ojos del Salar sinkhole pools, and Tebinquiche Lagoon. This private tour focuses on the Atacama salt flat's most distinctive water features. Cejar Lagoon's salinity is real and dramatic enough that you float effortlessly, much like the Dead Sea. Nearby, the Ojos del Salar are two real, perfectly round sinkhole pools, and Tebinquiche Lagoon offers mirror-like reflections of the surrounding desert and mountains, especially near sunset.

Laguna Cejar lies in the Salar de Atacama about 20 kilometres from San Pedro. Its brine is so concentrated that bathers float, often compared with the Dead Sea, though local operators sometimes claim it is even saltier; treat such comparisons as approximate.

The Ojos del Salar are two nearly circular freshwater pools in the middle of the salt desert, whose name means eyes of the salt flat. Tebinquiche (also spelled Tebenquiche) has salt-crusted shores that reflect the sky and volcanoes, especially in late light.

Rinse off after floating, since salt dries quickly in this climate.
