Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache PM (Shared)
Discover the Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache in the afternoon, explore its turquoise lagoons surrounded by salt crust and enjoy the warm desert light with a relaxed sunset cocktail. Due to park maintenance, floating is temporarily suspended.
Journey details
We leave San Pedro in the afternoon and travel toward the Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache, a group of turquoise hypersaline lagoons surrounded by salt crust, desert silence and open landscapes. Upon arrival, we walk along the marked trail that connects the lagoons and stop at the viewpoints to observe their colors, textures and salt formations. Notice: since September 29, 2026, the lagoons have been closed for floating due to protection and maintenance work, for an estimated period of two months; the tour runs as usual, without entering the water. As the afternoon light becomes warmer, we enjoy the scenery and end the visit with a relaxed cocktail before returning to San Pedro. Entrance fee is not included when booking directly through the website; if you request a quote through our bot or with a Molantur travel advisor, entrance fees are included in the final quote and managed by Molantur.
