VC190 Itinerary
Day 01 Santiago - Calama - San Pedro de Atacama
Transfer from the airport of Calama to the Hotel in San Pedro Atacama.
4:30pm Our trip will take us to see the capricious forms of salt and clay, as you will see in the “Three Marias” area. There you will be visiting the geological shapes located in one of the world's driest and most inhospitable zones, the Atacama Desert. You will appreciate the great molding power of the earth's natural forces, be amazed by nature's intricate work over thousands of years, contemplate and photograph incomparable sculptures. Enjoy an exciting experience in the salt caves, surprising shapes in the middle of the salt mountain range. The highlight of your desert adventure will be watching the Atacama sunset, opening you senses to the wonderful landscapes and colors of the Andes mountains, with the Licancabur Volcano as the millenary witness of another day ending in the desert.

Day 02 San Pedro de Atacama - Altiplanic Lagoons and Salt Lakes
Breakfast. Departure from San Pedro, following the international route to Sico border pass, to the south. Our first stop will be at Toconao village, to see its houses built in Liparita stones, and the church of San Lucas. Then we will continue to the Atacama Salt lake. The salt flat encompasses 3,000 km² (1,864.11 mi²), is about 100 km (62.14 mi) long and 80 km (49.71 mi) wide, which makes it third largest in the world, after Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia and Salt Lake in USA . Its average elevation is about 2,300 m.a.s.l. The topography of the core portion of the salar exhibits a high level of roughness, which is due to that the surface of this area is  permanently free of water, unlike the most of the other salt flats, as for example the Salar de Uyuni, which is periodically covered  with shallow water. It receives filtered water from the San Pedro river and multiple canyons of the high mountain range and it is surrounded by mountains and has no drainage outlets. To the east is enclosed by the main chain of the Andes while to the west lies a secondary mountain range called Cordillera de Domeyko. Under the surface is a big lake and from this salted and mineral water has born a new miner of salts mixture. It has the biggest reserve of Litio, Borax and Potassium in the world. In this salt lake is located the Chaxa lagoon, which has impressive salt formations, lagoons with superficial salt in formation and an exceptional animal life of little reptiles and the magnificent pink flamingoes (parinas). This place is a reserve under protection of the National Corporation for the forest (CONAF) as a birds nest centre. Afterwards we will continue toward the Miscanti and Meñiques lagoons. Located at 4,500 m. high, these lagoons are surrounded by impressive volcanoes, originated from the rising of the Andes, in the ancient geological times. They get their underground waters from thaw.  Arrival to San Pedro at 17.30 hrs. Back to your Hotel.

 San Pedro de Atacama 
We go out to the Geysers of Tatio, leaving around 04:30AM, after breakfast, and the greatest activity takes place between 06:30 and 09:00 a.m., when atmospheric pressure generates huge steam columns that spring from the ground, producing a contrast between the mountains and the deep blue sky. On the way back we will pass along Machuca, an Atacama village which main activities are shepherding and will show its marsh, ducks and Andean sea gulls.

There are many birds and small flowers in spring and summer.  After the trip of around 1.5 hours we will visit the Puritama Thermal Springs, a series of eight large pools of water with a temperature of 33.5º C (92º F). The pools are situated in the Atacama Desert, at an altitude of 3,500 meters (11,483 feet) above sea level. Wooden walkways connect the eight pools so that visitors can easily reach them. The pools also have facilities for enjoying the many properties of these thermal waters, as members of the ancient Atacameño culture have done for centuries.
