Description

Day trip from the town of Putre (3,500 masl), visiting the Las Vicuñas National Reserve and the Salar de Surire Natural Monument. We will travel to an altitude of 4,200 masl, and hike several trails, such as: in the town of Misitune, the Diablo Marka sector, and in the lagoons of Salar de Surire. During the day, we will be able to enjoy nature at its finest. You will have the opportunity to observe Suris (Andean Rhea) and Flamingos (James's, Andean, and Chilean), ducks, partridges, and get to know camelids: Llama, Alpaca, and Vicuña. At the salt flat, you can also bathe in the Polloquere hot springs, experiencing a sense of peace and feeling unique in a rarely visited territory. On the way back to Putre, we will visit the town of Guallatire. Languages: Spanish
