[Laguna Verde | A jade-colored miracle floating in the sky] — A quiet piece of art painted by the earth in the highlands of the Andes — A lake formed in a circular valley surrounded by crustal movements, with abundant minerals such as borax and copper dissolved in it, giving it a mysterious hue . Behind the lake are magnificent mountains such as Ojos del Salado (6,893m), the world's highest active volcano, and Incahuasi (5,900m), creating a photogenic and breathtaking view. ⸻ 📍 [Access] About 1 to 1.5 hours by car from San Pedro de Atacama. It is on the way to Paso San Francisco via Ruta 31-CH . There are unpaved sections, so 4WDs and tours are recommended. 🕰【Best time to see and take photos】 The best time is when the morning sun or the slanting light of the afternoon sun reflects the lake surface vividly. If you want to enjoy the mirror-like reflection, we recommend the morning. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The Andes mountains are reflected on the clear emerald green lake surface, creating a fantastic effect. • A spot where you can see Mount Laikankabur and other volcanoes and feel the power of the earth. • You may be worried about your breath at high altitudes, but you can really feel the scale of nature! ⸻ 🎒Tips and advice – The altitude is over 4,300m, so be careful of altitude sickness: climb slowly and stay hydrated  – Take full precautions against the cold and sunburn: hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and cold weather clothing are essential! – Stays are generally 10 to 15 minutes: take photos and explore efficiently – It is often included in various tours, but don't forget to reserve a front row seat or a place with a good view #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #AtacamaPlateau #Bolivia
