Miskanti Laguna

The high-mountain plain of the Altiplano is located in the west-central part of South America. On the territory of Chile there are perhaps the most impressive salt lakes and lagoons, known for their unique color. Miskanti Lagoon is one of the most beautiful in the territory of Altiplano.

Miskanti Lagoon is located in the territory of the Los Flamencos National Reserve, located almost throughout the territory of Altiplano and divided into seven sectors. The water in the lagoon is brackish due to springs hitting at its bottom, raising mineral salts to the surface.

The blue water of the lagoon is framed by a snow-white salt crust. In some places, it cracked, opening access to water, and in these places many waterfowl gather. All together it presents an incredible colorful picture: the deep blue of the lagoon, snow-white shores and pink mountains in the distance.
