Less than eight kilometers down the hill from customs Hito Cajon lies the beautiful „white“ lagoon. Close to it there is small accommodation facility used mainly by tourist´s groups preparing to ascent the volcano Licancabur. There is usually not very noisy at the lagoon. Usually only groups starting from San Pedro de Atcama stop here. This stop here is usually short, so you have just a few minutes short walk along the shore of the lagoon.There is a nice view of the entire chain of volcanoes from the lagoon.

Laguna Blanca from the outlook

It seems that lagoon was earlier significantly larger – but the name white is definitely not lying.
