Fuimos dos amigas desde Iquique y la subida al altiplano fue impresionante. Nuestro guía, Diego, explicó con mucha claridad cómo se formaron las lagunas volcánicas y señaló vizcachas entre las rocas. En la Laguna Roja, el color cambiaba según la luz, entre cobre y bordó; también paramos en pueblos aymaras y miradores con bofedales, llamas y volcanes nevados. La caminata fue tranquila, aunque llevamos abrigo y agua.
Booking was wonderfully easy: Tangol answered our questions about altitude and pickup within a few hours, even sending a clear WhatsApp note the evening before. The Red Lagoon outing felt friendly rather than rushed; our small group shared coca tea at breakfast and laughed with the guide when a vicuña wandered past. The long drive was absolutely worth it for those astonishing colors and quiet landscapes.
Depois de um ano de trabalho, esse passeio foi nosso prêmio. A equipe da Tangol respondeu rapidinho no WhatsApp, tirou nossas dúvidas e ajustou a reserva sem enrolação. No dia, o guia passou no horário combinado e ainda deixou café quente para a gente. A estrada até a Laguna Roja parece outro planeta: montanhas coloridas, vicunhas correndo e um silêncio gigante. A água vermelha ao sol foi de arrepiar, e o guia explicou tudo com calma. Voltamos cansados, felizes e com fotos demais para um só álbum.
Meinen Geburtstag habe ich bei dieser Tour zur Roten Lagune gefeiert. Als allein reisender Backpacker war ich wegen der frühen Abholung zunächst unsicher, doch Tangol antwortete schon bei der Buchung schnell und freundlich und erklärte mir den Treffpunkt sehr genau. In unserer kleinen Gruppe mit sechs Leuten aus vier Ländern herrschte eine lockere, respektvolle Stimmung. Beim Mate tauschten wir Geschichten über die Höhe aus, während die Landschaft vorbeizog. Unser Guide zeigte geduldig versteckte Farbtöne im roten Wasser. Am Aussichtspunkt überraschte mich die Gruppe sogar mit einem Stück Kuchen und einer Kerze.
En famille, nous avons adoré l’ambiance détendue du minibus : les enfants ont vite sympathisé avec deux autres familles. Entre paysages volcaniques, flamants, courte marche près de la lagune Rouge et visite d’un village aymara, la journée était variée. Le guide a partagé des biscuits maison au retour, un détail adorable après le départ matinal d’Iquique.
