Laguna Cejar is a magical place where you can forget all your troubles and just marvel at nature. When you're in the water you can feel the salt on your body. If you stand up, your upper half will be icy cold but your lower half nice and warm. It's an odd feeling.
From San Pedro de Atacama, there are various routes to get to this amazing lake. One way is on a chartered bus and the other is on a mountain bike through the rugged terrain. The route is easy, flat, and not too long (only around 10 miles). You'll be there in around an hour. once there, you can enjoy two lagoons, one of which is only for photo-taking (it has too much salt and minerals to be swimmable), while the other is a great place to swimming and hanging out. The water has a high salt content so you literally float on the surface. You can go swimming all year round.
