Cejar Lagoon

About the experience

The Cejar Lagoon is known as the Dead Sea of South America. The amount of salt is so great that a thick white crust forms on its edge. Care must be taken not to hurt your feet. It is a unique experience to enter a lagoon where there is so much salt in the waters of the Cejar Lagoon, that it becomes impossible for the human body to sink. Whoever enters the lagoon always floats and it is an indescribable sensation. The lagoon has very crystalline water and a beautiful blue and to complete, the landscape is surrounded by the Andes Mountains and volcanoes. Itinerary: ✅ Cejar Lagoon (bathing in Piedras Lagoon); ✅ Ojos del Salar; ✅ Tebinquinche Lagoon. Altitude: 2,400 meters Why choose this tour? The Cejar Lagoon offers a unique and unforgettable experience in the heart of the Atacama Desert. The high concentration of salt allows you to float effortlessly, providing a sensation similar to that of the Dead Sea. The surrounding landscape, with the Andes Mountains and volcanoes in the background, makes the setting even more stunning. In addition to the Cejar Lagoon, the tour includes a visit to the Ojos del Salar, two mysterious freshwater lagoons in the middle of the desert, and to the Tebinquinche Lagoon, where the reflection of the sky and the mountains in the water creates a spectacular view, especially at sunset. It is an unmissable tour for those who wish to experience the contrast between desert, lagoons and salt flats in one of the most incredible places in the world.
