The
tour begins with the departure from the hotels in San Pedro de
Atacama, home of the Atacama culture and archeological capital of
Chile.
We
will travel towards Toconao, a small village that, according to
scientific data, has human life registres dating back more than
12,000 years old, in a sector known as Lickanantai. In this village
is the church of St. Luke, with his little bell, and made of mud and
straw. We will also visit the workshop
and craft fair in the area, rich in alpaca wool items and handicrafts
in cactus.
Then we will continue to
the Salar de Atacama, the largest in Chile, to visit the Flamencos
National Reserve and Chaxa Lagoon, with a scenic viewpoint, that
allows us to recognize the different species of flamingos in the
area. We will enjoy time to walk around and photograph this unique
scene.
The tour ends with the
return to San Pedro de Atacama.
