Laguna Cejar - Floating in the sea can be a challenge for some. But what happens if you are mentioned that there is a place with a saline concentration in its waters that allows you to achieve it?
Cejar Lagoon is compared to the Dead Sea and some even claim that it has more salt concentration than this. The fact is that just sitting on the water will start to float and even reading a book will be easy. The complex where this lagoon is located is surrounded by true fields of solidified salt that crystallizes and forms white mantles that glow in the reddish desert.
The emerald blue waters of the three lagoons are the ideal space for birds such as flamingos that arrive to feed or rest.
A few meters away is the Piedra lagoon, a site protected by its important role in the biodiversity of the area. You can undoubtedly walk through a place that will give you the option of floating in the water that will make you feel like a feather in the air, but you can also observe the richness that the landscape and its components will offer you. Float in the middle of the desert! -
Ojos del Salar - Tebenquiche Lagoon, Healing, encounter with oneself, and peace. This is very close to what you feel by looking at the sunset that, with a blend of intense colors, let you see the moon reflected in the still water. The Tebenquiche Lagoon is a mirror of the colors festival that occurs in this place that at times seems taken from another planet.
However, this area is not only an exciting festival of colors and reflections where the sky and the earth become one, it is also an ecosystem ample in birds, foxes, and the typical visitors of the region: beautiful and glamorous flamencos.
Its vastness is a panoramic mirror of earth, a natural wonder that is watched by the protectors of the Atacama valley that keeps microbial agents in their water, the same that millions of years ago formed the ozone layer.
