Salar de Atacama
Beste tid å besøke
April to November brings clear weather and cool temperatures for long hikes. The sunrise paints the crystals pink and orange and is worth an early morning.
Budsjettips
Each sub-area in the reserve costs between 3,000 and 5,000 pesos, so decide which lagoons you want to see and add it up before you go. Buy water and snacks in town in advance, since the kiosks by the lagoons charge a hefty markup.

Om
Raske fakta: Nesten 3 000 kvadratkilometer av hvit saltkrystall lyser her, et av de salteste stedene på planeten. Under overflaten ligger en av verdens rikeste litiumkilder, samtidig som tre flamingoarter trives i lagunene rundt omkring.
Høydepunkter: Saltet danner perfekte sekskantede sprekkemønstre som knaser under skoene, som et gigantisk porselen som har tørket i solen. Når heten stiger, får krystallenes speiling fjellene rundt til å virke svevende, og lyden av skrittene dine studser merkelig langt over overflaten.
Insidertips
- Wear sunglasses and a hat even in cloudy weather, the white surface reflects sunlight brutally.
- Book a morning tour that starts before eight o'clock to reach the lagoon before the tourist buses arrive.
- Wear old shoes or sandals, the salt crumbles new leather and sticks to the soles.
- Expect around four hours of transport round trip from the villages, and be prepared for sudden weather changes.
