Description

Join me on this trekking tour around north Chile’s lagoons and the amazing Salar de Atacama, the largest salt flat in the country that is located 55 km south from San Pedro de Atacama!

During this trekking tour, we will visit the Chaxa Lagoon which is the best place in Chile to see flamingoes. Located in the center of the Salar de Atacama is part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve and one of the most beautiful places to appreciate flamingoes and a variety of other birds as well.

Other lagoons that are perfect to do some birdwatching will be the the Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons. Located at 4.200 meters, in the middle of a magical natural landscape, these lagoons are surrounded by hills and volcanoes. Here, participants will be able to discover flamingoes as well as parinas.

We will also visit the towns of Socaire, located approximately at 3,600 meters, and Toconao. This charming town is known for its architecture of rock constructions with volcanic origin and also for its unique vegetation environment.

About lead guide, Christian Fernandez:

I’m originally from Argentina, but live in Chile since 1998. Now I’m settled in the north of Chile, in San Pedro de Atacama, beautiful town in the heart of the Andean section of the dry Atacama dessert.

From there I organize many expeditions to beautiful peaks on a weekly basis. I’ve done more than 300 high altitude ascents, and more than 25 peaks over 6000 metres.

I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
