The Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache, also known as the Seven Hidden Lagoons, are a stunning series of saltwater pools nestled in the Atacama Desert near San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. These vibrant turquoise lagoons set against the stark white salt crust and surrounding rugged desert landscape create a surreal, ethereal setting perfect for photography. Arrive early or late in the day for the best natural lighting and to avoid the intense midday sun. While swimming is only allowed in two of the lagoons, the high salt concentration ensures buoyancy reminiscent of the Dead Sea, offering unique photographic opportunities. Remember to adhere to environmental guidelines, as the area is protected, and some lagoons are sensitive to human influence.
