Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache
These remarkable, intensely blue-green lagoons nestled in the Atacama Desert are not your typical desert oases.
About
Formed over millions of years due to geological shifts, the Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache hold a significant concentration of saltwater, at times even surpassing the salinity of the Dead Sea. They are the remnants of an ancient ocean that became trapped in the Andean mountains, and much of the water has since evaporated, leaving behind these highly saline pools. Upon arrival, explorers are greeted by a series of enchanting blue lakes encrusted with glistening salt crystals. While a few of the lagoons are open for swimming, others are protected for research and conservation purposes. The water may be refreshingly cool, around 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), yet it offers a soothing respite under the scorching desert sun. The Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache deliver a breathtaking spectacle that combines the stark beauty of the Atacama Desert with the surreal allure of intensely hued, salty waters—a truly captivating natural wonder.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
