Itinerary

6:00 a.m. to 6:40 a.m. – We begin our pickup from hotels in the city center. Our first stop will be the Volcano Lookout in the Chiguata district, which takes an average of 45 minutes to reach. From there, we'll be able to observe our iconic volcanoes and take photos. Later, we'll arrive in the town of Chiguata and visit the main square, where the traditional Espíritu Santo Church is located. We'll then enjoy a local breakfast. We'll then continue on our way, approximately one hour later, with a stop at Alto Simbral (4,200 m.a.s.l.), where we can observe local plants such as Queñua, Yareta, Tola, and more. At approximately 10:00 a.m., we will continue our tour to Laguna de Salinas, where we will stay for between 1 and 1 hour and 30 minutes, making various stops to observe flamingos, parihuanas, and reflecting pools (January to June), as well as vicuñas, llamas, and alpacas (year-round). During the dry season (July to December), we will visit the salt extraction centers, where imagination is essential for taking spectacular photographs.
