Hop back in the car to head towards Chile where the “Dali Desert” awaits. Get ready for a landscape unlike anything you’ve seen before! Ochre-coloured ground and isolated rocks make it feel you’re taking a drive on Mars. Finally, you’ll arrive at the Green Lagoon, which is deep emerald in colour and sits right at the base of the Licancabur volcano. As you then approach the Red Lagoon, you’ll be treated to the sights of a huge flock of pink flamingoes. You’ll be spending the night out here in the refuge, so you’ve got plenty of time to admire the birds and to explore the nearby Siloli Desert, which is full of unique rock formations.
