Exploration Path
The trip from Atacama to the Ramaditas Mountain Home will cross the Altiplano through an active Andes Mountain Range. We leave the lodge and cross towards Bolivia, stopping first at the White Lagoon. We walk along the south border of the lagoon to enjoy the altitude landscape and bird watching.
We then go to the Green Lagoon, from where we walk to the Apachetas viewpoint, where we get a view of the Licancabur and Sairecabur volcanoes. We continue towards the Sol de Mañana Geysers, where the smell of sulfur alerts us of mineral-rich underground currents.
We walk to the lagoons to see amazing flocks of flamingos and other birds. We have lunch enjoying this landscape, the Altiplano, and the Red Lagoon, to then continue with our trip.

Exploration Path
We walk from our Mountain Home up to the Honda Lagoon. The slope towards the lagoon will make us explore the inner passes of the surrounding hills. The flora changes as we go up and yareta moss can be seen in the hills, in contrast with the arid landscapes of the Atacama- Ramaditas route.

Exploration Path
We walk from the east of the Pastos Grandes Lagoon, crossing current refuges of Altiplano shepherds and vestiges of abandoned posts. We come close to the Catedrales, an ignimbrite geological formation uniquely shaped by years of erosion and Andean winds. Some vicuñas and a large number of vizcachas inhabit the area, and we will be able to see tracks of pumas and Andean cats.

Exploration Path
We will walk from our Mountain Home, going up through trails surrounded by yareta moss, grasses, and shrubs. As we gain altitude, Honda, Char Kota and Hedionda lagoons will appear. The volcano is acknowledged by colorfulness, due to which it has been dubbed the “Ascotán Garden”. The diverse tones and fullness of the Altiplano have been with us along the entire exploration.
* Exploration exclusive for programs of 10 nights or more.
