Significant information
Weather
High desert is the prevailing climate in the sector. There are very large temperature variations between day and night, reaching temperatures below -20ºC. It is fundamental to have very good technical clothing and equipment that meets these climatic requirements.
Areas and camps
Laguna Santa Rosa: It is located at an altitude of 3170 masl and 154 km away from Copiapó. The ground is hard and muddy near the lagoon. It is an important part of the Nevado de Tres Cruces National Park where it is possible to see foxes, flamingos, guanacos and vicuñas.
Laguna Verde: It is located at 4340 masl. It has a hot springs sector. It is a very appropriate place to set up the base camp, because it is provided with ample land and also has stone shelters (pircas) which help the tents in wind storms to resist these hard conditions.
