Later we will head towards the Southeast (Andes Mountains) to settle in a town in the Altiplano called Socaire, we visited its Church and learned about its agriculture. Once settled in the Andes mountain range we headed to approx. 4,200 m.a.s.l. to find Lagunas Miscanti and Meñiques belonging to the Los Flamencos National Reserve, characterized by volcanoes and mountainous reliefs such as Cerro Miscanti and Volcano Meñiques. Species such as the Horned Tagua, Parinas Chicas, Caití, Baird's Sandpiper, Puna Plover, Juarjual Duck and the Guallata abound there. The flora is mainly composed of the Llareta and the Paja Brava.

Both lagoons are born thanks to the underground water from the melted ice.

Continuing along the foothills of the Southern Andes, we head to the Salar de Talar, known touristically as Piedras Rojas, a place where the rocks are subjected to natural oxidation and weathering, which causes these colors to be lost in the intensity of the Andes.which causes these colors to be lost in the intensity of the Andes.which causes these colors to be lost in the intensity of the Andes.
