This trip to the lagoons at over 4000m altitude was to witness some truly unique and spectacular scenery. The blue lagoons with the backdrop of snow capped peaks and white salt terrain was breathtaking. This was a day trip from San Pedro and the excursion included an outdoor lunch in the sunshine. A great trip with a stop off on the way back at the point where we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn at Lat 23 degrees. A much over used word these days but the vista really was 'amazing'. A special place indeed.

What an unbelievable spot. We did the Aguas Calients with Cosmo Andino tours and we drove on a perfect road from lakes Miscanti and Miniques. It is an amazing place, I can only compare it to a painting! The amazing colors of the lake, and the backdrop of high volcanoes, the freshness of the air, the calm and quiet. It is truly breathtaking!

Simply a beautiful place to visit. Was lucky enough to see wild vicuñas grazing by the side of this lake. My iphone camera did not do justice to this perfect place.

10. Valle De La Luna

Reviewed By ReadyForThisJelly - Washington DC, United States
Honestly, I was disappointed by the Atacama Desert. I found it was mostly a more expensive, less spectacular version of Bolivia's altiplano desert. But the Valle de la Luna/Valle de la Muerte was the big exception—there's nothing quite like this in Bolivia, and it's spectacular. It's getting harder to visit here without crowds, but it's still great. The valley was the highlight of our 5 days in San Pedro, and we visited three times—on a morning hike, by horseback ride, and sandboarding down the huge dunes. I highly recommend all three experiences.
