Chile Laguna Miniques Overview, Lagunas Miñiques
This is quite high up in the Andes next to the famous Laguna Miscanti... with a 4x4, it is easy to get too little money for the entrance fee, then you are in... if not, a lot of busses are coming, you have the place for yourself for a while...
The two salty lagoons lie at an altitude of 4,300 m. You do not need a 4x4 vehicle to get there. The park surrounding the lagoons is one of seven areas in the Atacama Desert that together form the Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos. The panoramas here are breathtaking, not only because of the "thin" air.

Travel Information
Take your own (rental) car... that way you have time to enjoy it with less noise of people.
You can't get into the park without a ticket bought online in advance. As I have heard from other travelers, this online booking is complicated. At the northern entrance to Socaire, you can do it at a container office with assistance. From there, it is another 26 km to the park entrance.
