Lagunas Miscanti y Miñiques
Najboljši čas za obisk
Best in the morning, before the wind wakes up, when the water lies completely still and the colors are at their sharpest. Between April and November the sky is often clear, while the summer thunder can close the road.
Nasveti za proračun
The park entrance fee is 5,000 CLP per person and is paid at the guard post along the road. You save hundreds of kronor by renting a private 4x4 with a driver or driving yourself instead of booking a group excursion from town.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: The lagoons are fed by meltwater from the two volcanoes and shimmer at over 4,100 meters above sea level. The color shifts from turquoise to deep blue as the light changes, while Andean flamingo species often feed at the water's edge.
Poudarki: At eight in the morning the ice lies like fragile glass over the shallow water, and every step on the gravel sounds like a crunch in the total silence. A caracara often glides along the ridge while you have Miñiques' 5,910-meter peak right beside you.
Notranji nasveti
- Take a spot at the viewpoint below the parking lot first, where the whole double lagoon and the volcanoes fit in one picture.
- Pack warm clothes and a hat in your backpack, the temperature can be below freezing even in the middle of summer.
- Go on a weekday and as early as possible, then you will have the lagoons almost to yourself before the group buses roll in around ten.
- Skip the line at the toilet at the entrance, use the facilities in Toconao before the trip instead.
