The Stone Lagoon (Laguna Piedra) at 2,400 meters (8,000 ft) above sea level, the Salar de Atacama, the Atacama Desert, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.

            In the place there are three lagoons: Laguna Cejar, Laguna Stone and Laguna Baltinache. The bath is only allowed in one of them, the Laguna Piedra, which is the smallest. The other two lagoons, larger, can only be seen very closely by footpaths and belvederes.

To get to Laguna Piedra, where the bath takes place, it is necessary to walk along a path that is about 200 meters from the parking lot. The distance, though short, bothers you a little when you need to get out of the pond with your body full of salt to get to the fresh water showers, as the friction of the excessive salt in your body while you walk is kind of nasty.

It is not allowed to use sunscreen in the place to not pollute the waters of the lagoon. So the recommendation is for you to wear a protector at the hotel before starting the tour. The use of protectors is fundamental in this and in all the tours of the Atacama, because the sun in the region is very strong, especially in the afternoon. Another indispensable item is the water bottle, preferably large, because you will need to constantly moisturize on the sidewalks.
