Red Lagoon Day Trip

At 5 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Iquique and set off for the high plateau of northern Chile.

On the way, we'll pass through the crossroads of Huara and stop at the petroglyphs of Chillaiza, which date back to the Inca Empire. Our next stop will be in the small village of Camiña for a breakfast.

We'll then leave the Tarapacá area and head to Arica and Parinacota. At an altitude of 12,139 feet (3,700 metres), we'll see the Red Lagoon by the Caritaya River. We'll explore the area around the lake and learn about the legend surrounding it.

Nearby are the Green and Yellow Lagoons, whose colors result from different minerals and microalgae.

After visiting these lagoons, we'll return to Camiña for lunch, featuring three dishes of local gastronomy. Following lunch, we will return you to your hotel in Iquique by 6 pm.
