About the experience

This tour takes place only during the summer, when the days are longer and allow you to enjoy the sunset at one of the most impressive viewpoints in the region. We begin the experience leaving the hotel around 3:00 pm, heading towards Laguna Cejar, famous for its waters with approximately eight times more salt than the sea, providing a unique floating experience. After enjoying the lagoon in peace, we continue towards the Licancabur Viewpoint, located at approximately 3,800 meters of altitude. From there we contemplate the sunset with a privileged view of the Licancabur Volcano, the Andes Mountains and the immensity of the desert, closing the day in an unforgettable environment and a delicious local cocktail and national wine. Return to the hotel is around 9:00 pm.

“Cris, thank you so much for guiding my wife and I through one of the biggest challenges of our lives. We are not athletes and have little experience on high altitude trails, and yet you guided us with confidence, attention and safety to the top of Cerro Toco. In addition to leading us with a lot of love, kindness and good conversation on the way there and back. I wish you and your wife much success in your journey leading On the Road. A big hug from Brazil!”
