Spectacular area and floating in the lagoon is a wonderful experience.

5.00We had a lovely tour of the lagoon. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. You are given 30 min to float/swim in the lagoon. There is a 15 min walk to the lagoon on a wooden pathway since the area is environmentally sensitive. Only one tour group at a time is allowed in the lagoon. After your swim, there is another 10-15 walk to the outdoor shower area. You are given a one minute shower to get the salt off, then you can head to the change rooms.
Laguna's baltinache you have to do!

5.00Great tour with the nice guides Abraham & Driver. The hotel pickup worked great, first photo top to Valle de la Luna magical. The lagoon walk over the wooden jetties like from another world. Incredible colors and yet like on Mars. In the big lagoon we could float in the cool salt water, great feeling. Short freshwater fish and then back. Very nice!
Cool to see/experience, but next time I don’t use a guide

5.00The lagoons were cool, the roads were terrible so I was glad to use my guide’s van instead of my rental car, staff were friendly, and the appetizer spread was adorable. I would not recommend this tour if you speak English because while the guide was friendly, the broken English really missed the mark on the education experience. For this reason, I would honestly do this self guided in the future. Also the posting said swimming wasn’t allowed, but 1 hour before the tour they said to have your bathing suit on and be ready to swim so I had to buy a towel from a street vendor. Also they charged me $12usd + fees for a park pass but looking online it was only $6usd if I bought in my own. They would not let me buy on own ticket.
