The Lake Closest to the Sky

If there truly is an "alien landscape" on Earth, it must be in northern Chile! At Mirador Piedras Rojas, fiery red rocks, azure blue waters, and snow-white salt crusts intertwine, resembling a painting hand-colored by nature itself. The wind is strong and the altitude is high, but every step is worth it. The lakes of Lagunas Altiplánicas are as still as mirrors, surrounded by golden grasslands and distant snow-capped mountains. As you walk, it feels as if you can hear the sound of wind passing through your soul. This highland journey is not just about checking places off your list, but more like a conversation with your own soul.
