The setting is what is impressive at the reserve. We saw about 2 dozen flamingoes, fairly closeup. After all the hype, I had expected more. Still very much worth doing as part of the overall tour you'd do that day.

This is the best place to see flamingos and make great pictures of this fascinating bird. It's hot (in summer), very hot, so bring hat, solar cream, water and everything else you need. The salt formation around is quite a sight. This is quite close from San Pedro and can be combined with the Salar.

Large flocks of flamingos (and other water fowl) at lagoons high in the mountains above the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. An unexpected finding in one of the earth's driest environments.

We were brought to different parts of this reserve on two tours by Turistours - the Cejar lagoon tour and the Miscanti and Miñiques tour. It's stunningly beautiful but don't expect the flamingoes to act tame - bring high-powered binoculars.

Went by myself and with maps it was easy to find.I was unlucky and there were just a few flamencos but fairly close.If you have your own vehicle its possible to visit lagoon Cejar and Ojos aswell on the same day!Entrance: 2500 pesos
