    One of the best walks we have done

    Unlike the hidden lagoon of Baltinache, where the distance is the bath of 30 seconds left the bad walk, here was all good. From the guide Alejandro and the driver Marcelo, from Atacama Extrema, who provided us with a wonderful day, to the view of the place, its organization and the afternoon that was divine in terms of temperature. So we didn't take much, we arrived before 14:00 which left us first in the entrance queue of the park. With a backpack carrying towels (from the hotel), slippers and underwear change, we are ready for the tour. You didn't even need hooks, so common on other tours that arrive later or are at higher altitudes. We also take small soaps to remove excess salt. It helped a lot.

    Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra enormemente saber que tu experiencia con nosotros fue grata. Valoramos mucho tu opinión y esperamos volver a recibirte pronto.

    I really liked it, the view is spectacular, everything very well taken care of

    Beautiful, and very well preserved, although the walkways are narrow, but safe. The blue lagoon has a special and reassuring energy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We're truly happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to have you back soon.

    Never ever book through TripAdvisor and viator

    While the tour itself was excellent I strongly recommend that you never never ever book through viator again. They have ruined my vacation with the complete lack of communication and a total failure on logistics. I was told five different things about pickup.... It will be at your hotel. It will not be at your hotel. It will be at 2:00 pm.... Be sure to be ready!!! They finally picked me up at 3:10 p.m.. the tour I booked today came back over an hour late. And the afternoon tour I booked today was a complete no-show even though I have a ticket. Viator does not communicate with the local tour operators and they don't care that a tour I paid for was a complete no-show. Don't make the same mistake I did.... You can book direct with all the local vendors here in San Pedro and save yourself a lot of stress and disappointment. But the one thing you will definitely get from viator? Dozens and dozens of marketing emails pop-ups and annoying spam. That part of the experience is guaranteed.

    Lovely tour

    Good experience, informed guide. Bit rushed at certain times, but we were able to swim in less touristy area which was great.

    Great afternoon!

    We really enjoyed this tour!! Our guide, Juvenal, was very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the Atacama desert. The salt flats were beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the Ojos and floating in the salt Laguna Piedra.

    Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Pedro de Atacama.

    How much does Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Pedro de Atacama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Pedro de Atacama is not rushed.

    Is Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Pedro de Atacama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Pedro de Atacama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Pedro de Atacama and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cejar Lagoon, Tebinquiche Tour and Ojos del Salar from San Pedro de Atacama start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Pedro de Atacama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Pedro de Atacama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tour to Geysers del Tatio, Piedras Rojas + Altiplanic Lagoons and Salar de Atacama, Hidden lagoons of Baltinache. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
