Meals included: Picnic lunch
Please note:
During the rainy season (December–March), access to Incahuasi Island may be restricted due to flooding, as vehicles cannot cross the water-covered salt flats. In this case, instead of visiting Incahuasi Island, the tour will include a visit to the salt sculptures located on the salt flats.
The mirror effect can be seen year-round when a thin layer of water enhances the salt flats’ reflective surface. However, after the dry season (typically September to November), water levels may decrease depending on weather conditions.
Full moon nights may reduce stargazing visibility due to increased brightness.
