Lauca National Park Day Trip

At 7 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Putre and drive to the Lauca National Park, located near the Bolivian border. The first stop is at Lake Chugará, situated at an altitude of 14,764 feet (4,500 metres). Following this, we proceed into the park to observe its volcanoes, including Parinacota, Pomerape, and Guallatiri, which exceed 19,685 feet (6,000 metres).

During our visit, we will see alpacas and vicuñas native to the Chilean altiplano. A break will be taken for a picnic lunch featuring sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolate, and juices.

After lunch, our route includes the stunning Cotacotani Lagoons and the village of Parinacota, notable for its National Monument church. We will also explore the archaeological sites of Chaku and Las Cuevas to gain insight into the area's history.

Lastly, we aim to stop at the Jurasi Hot Springs, though this visit may vary due to occasional closures. You'll be returned to your hotel in Putre between 2 and 3 pm.
