Private half-day excursion to the Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache, a set of seven high-salinity lagoons southeast of San Pedro de Atacama, with guide included. Hotel pick-up leads into a roughly one-hour drive on a dirt road. On site there is a walk along the lagoon circuit and a time-limited float in one of the authorized lagoons; the others are protected and do not allow entry into the water. Transport is operated in a vehicle with driver. Admission to the area is paid on site and listed as excluded. The altitude is similar to San Pedro de Atacama (around 2,450 m), so no prior acclimatization is required.
