Once used to the high altitude of San Pedro de Atacama we decide to take the drive to the Lagunas Altiplanicas, mountain lakes located around 15,000ft above sea level. The heart of the southern hemisphere winter is not the best time to go because the lakes are partly frozen which makes the launching in the water pretty hard (ask Carine how to break the ice with a paddle!) On the up side, you might get to paddle with snowcapped volcanoes all around you and not a soul for miles on end.
