Good for photos

Not so beautiful as the Misacanti and Miniques lakes, but also worth the visit. It's located after Piedras Rojas. I made a small stop for photos.

High lake

An incredible salt lake at high altitude. It is a piercing sapphire blue. The view over the Andes in the distance is breathtaking

Last lagoon before Argentina border

We recently spent two days self driving to the lagoons south of San Pedro in our two-wheel drive car. This is really pretty one with gorgeous white salt. It is quite a drive from San Pedro but for us we really enjoyed visiting this place....More

Salty lake at high altitude

We found this lake by accident but decided to have our picnic lunch here. It's past Aguas Calientes on the road towards Argentina. Very scenic, great for photos & a relax. Free entry & no other tourists. Blissful!

Off the beaten path

Laguna Tuyacto (sometimes spelled Tuyajto) is almost at the border with Argentina and quite a drive from San Pedro. That is big plus as there are no other people there. It is not quite as majestic as the other lakes nearby. But it makes more...More
