About the experience

We started the day watching the sunrise between the volcanoes, at a time when the desert is usually much quieter. We continue through the Salt Mountain Range, with time to contemplate each landscape, we pass by the Magic Bus and we end the experience in Lagoas Escondidas, with a brunch prepared by our chef and good conversations before returning to San Pedro.

We got to the desert just before first light, and the breakfast table was already set. Then Vallecito and the Magic Bus, with no rush, and we wrapped up floating at Lagunas Escondidas. The whole day in Portuguese, our own language.
