When we arrived to this lake, we had the pleasure of meeting a man who is living in this desolate part of desert and who has built a place to rest and a bathroom. He is also in charge to keep a good part of the road free of stones or potholes. Our guide Edgar took us there not only to admire the beauty of the Laguna but also to have a well deserved lunch time. While Edgar was preparing the lunch we had the opportunity of walking towards the lake, which was surrounded by patches of salt and snow. Since we were in winter there weren't many flamingos, but it did not matter as the beauty of the Laguna itself was enough to delight the eyes. I could not reach the edge of the lake as my 89 years old mom was with me and she was not strong enough to climb down in a safe manner. When we arrived the wind was not an issue but when we decided to head back to the resting place the wind gained strength and almost knocked us down. Luckily the worst part of the windstorm happened when we were having lunch. Once we finished, the calm had returned to this isolate and beautiful lake.

These are volcano rock formations lots of fun to climb and take pictures, you cannot climb the arbor de pier though for obvious reasons, bring lots of water the desert and high altitude can really dehydrate you.

Small bustling community where you transfer to overland vehicles for your exploration of the Salt Flats. The collection of old trains standing, rusting away is an awesome sobering sight. Rail cars everywhere. Indeed it can be called a Cemetery. Good one.
