Travel Information
From San Pedro de Atacama follow Toconao/Socaire/Laguna Miscanti on the R23. The spot is about 2 hours from SPdA. You need to book admission to the national park the day before (online: socairechile.cl)
You can't get into the park without a ticket bought online in advance. Accordingly, 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.
