Additional Information

Situated 20 kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama, within the Salar de Atacama, lies the Cejar Lagoon. Noted for its intense Calipso hue and encircled by different types of salts, it offers a unique charm. The lagoon’s high salt content, derived from the underground water bodies formed by the melting of mountain ice, imparts an intriguing blend of mystery and amusement. Despite attempts to plunge in, the density of the water ‘throws’ us back, thus preventing from sinking. As the trip concludes, participants get to witness a breathtaking desert sunset.

Good time in the lagoon. - Like the Blue Lagoon near Reykjavik, the Laguna Cejar is one of those experiences you can’t miss. High salt level, very warm but with a soft mellow feel. Very relaxing. Dropped one point because getting out was a bit tricky and sharp on the feet and hands, more so when losing grip and falling back onto fagged surfaces. No lasting injuries but either we could have been warned or advised to wear precautionary footwear or they could have build or contrived a simple easier route out. But don’t be put off, it’s not enough to miss swimming here.
