Then, already at height, at the foot of the volcanoes : the dark blue lagoons Miscanti and Miñiques, a route in which you can visualize the Andean mountain range feeling a cold that will leave you paralyzed for a moment, until you realize that you are 4000 km above sea level.
Two lagoons surrounded by a solid and a beautiful sky that contrasts perfectly with the crystal clear water. A somewhat particular vegetation and wonderful fauna adorn this beautiful place.
