Chile Salar de Aguas Calientes Sur (Piedras Rojas)

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

In Chile‘s Altiplano, on around 4000m elevation nature has formed this stunning salt lake. The beauty of the area is breathtaking (not only owed to the altitude). Nice mirror effect at Salar de Aguas Calientes Sur, a salt lake in the Chilean Altiplano.

Photography Tips

Wide angle/pano, the spot is at around 4000m altitude, so get prepared to avoid altitude sickness. The crowds are never huge, but if you‘re there early morning, you‘ve got the place to yourself.

Travel Information

Just over 2 hrs drive from San Pedro de Atacama. You need to prebook the admission to the national park (socairechile.cl). There are tours you can book but I recommend to hire a car as the way to the Salar is a photographer‘s paradise.

Spot Type Outdoor

Crowd Factor Just a few people
