Day Trip to the Huasco Salt Flats + Tambillo

Day Trip to the Huasco Salt Flats + Tambillo

We will pick you up at 8:30 am at your hotel in Pica and travel in a 4x4 vehicle to the Huasco Salt Flat, located in the Chilean region of Tarapacá, near the border with Bolivia.

Upon arrival, enjoy a snack that includes an energy bar, nuts, fruit, and a drink (coffee or herbal tea). Following this, we will embark on a 1-kilometer (0.62-mile) hike through the salt flat, situated at an altitude of 4000 meters (13,123 feet). This unique environment is home to native animals such as flamingos, rheas, and various desert birds.

After exploring the Huasco salt flat for about an hour, we will proceed to the nearby Tambillo nature reserve to walk through its gorge and view the pictographs from pre-Columbian times.

Finally, we will return to your hotel in Pica, arriving at 1 pm.
