Laguna Blanca & Laguna Verde
Our first stop was a high vantage point from which we could take in Laguna Blanca (white), Laguna Verde (green) and the imposing Volcano Licancabur.
Initially, we were disappointed to find Laguna Verde looking rather pale but the wind soon changed all that. As the wind blew, the lagoon went from this:
To this:
We could literally see the bright turquoise colour streaking across the surface of the lagoon as the wind blew. Perhaps it’s clearer with these two pictures:
Stunning transformation.
Desierto de Dali
Not long after, we were rolling through a desert. This desert is named after Salvador Dali as the landscape bares a striking resemblance to his paintings. Indeed, this is a desert like no other. The soft colours and smooth lines of this desert have a surrealistic quality that draws you in.
Hot Springs Polques
Here, you will have an opportunity to have a dip in a hot pool. We didn’t as we did not have a towel within easy access and I didn’t fancy taking off my numerous layers in the cool weather (do note that there is a fee to use their bathrooms). We did, however, remove our shoes and dip our legs in for a short while. The warm water was wonderfully relaxing.
The entire time we sat there, we were marvelling at the backdrop. We could hardly believe what we were seeing. It was as though we had stepped into a watercolour painting. Pastel pink, blue and yellow shades swirled around to create a captivating surreal dreamscape. So beautiful. My photos don’t do this place justice at all.
