Tebinquiche Lagoon Atacama
Located about 35km from San Pedro de Atacama, Tebinquiche Lagoon is one of the best places to watch the sunset in the Atacama Desert.
With the Andes Mountains in the background, being there is as if you could touch each of the volcanoes you see on the horizon. It’s worth highlighting the most important of these for the Atacameño people, the great Licancabur Vulcan.

How to visit Laguna Tebinquiche
The Tebinquiche Lagoon Tour is, most of the time combined with Cejar Lagoon and Ojos del Salar. A half-day tour for your itinerary.
As well as its exuberant beauty, this lagoon is home to a micro-organism that is the basis for many studies into the origin of life on Earth.
In addition, at certain times of the year it is possible to spot flamingos in the Lagoon, which makes the view even more special.
Enjoying the sunset at Tebinquiche Lagoon is like a special treat on your trip. It’s a place of unique and incomparable energy.
Atacama agencies usually include Tebinquiche Lagoon at the end of the Cejar Lagoon Tour. In addition to a different itinerary, each agency offers different proposals and experiences.
The Tour with FlaviaBia which is our recommendation for your trip, has several differentiating features that make a difference to your travel experience.
First of all, Flavia always stresses the importance of a good experience for each traveler, which is why she only works with smaller groups and looks for places and times with the fewest people.
Information about Laguna Tebinquiche
At Tebinquiche Lagoon this is even more special. While most agencies have access to one side of the lagoon, another area is reserved for a few hotels and just two agencies.
In this area, travelers can enjoy the best views of the lagoon and a super-special cocktail prepared by Flavia’s team. It really is the care and affection of someone who loves the work they do, which is why we recommend the agency in a transparent way.
To make the most of the tour, make sure your itinerary includes a bathing break at Cejar Lagoon and don’t forget to pack warm clothing, as the temperature drops rapidly after sunset.
Tips for enjoying the Tebinquiche Lagoon Tour
As Tebinquiche Lagoon is not that far from San Pedro de Atacama, it’s a good choice for your first few days there, while you’re still acclimatizing to the altitude.
It’s usually hot in the summer, but after sunset the temperature drops quickly. We always advise you to pack a jacket for this sunless period.
It’s important to take a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated throughout the day. The use of sunscreen and moisturizer for the skin, especially for the lips, makes a good difference during the tour.
Wearing a cap or hat is also a good idea, as there are no shaded areas to protect yourself from the sun.
