The Andean chain: Laguna Verde
At the foot of the high cordillera is the beautiful
Laguna Verde. On quiet days, the mountains' peaks, which are over 6000 m
high, are reflected in the green-blue water. A hot water source provides
pleasant water temperatures in a limited area.
The Laguna Verde is
4200 m above sea level. Therefore, the visitors should take all
precautions against altitude sickness into account.
The lake
serves as a base station for high-mountain tours, especially to the Ojos
del Salado.
Location Data:
UTM: E551.308 / N70.25.935
Elevation: 4350m
Distancia to Copiapó (cam. Inter.): 256 km
The whole area around Laguna Verde has an elevation of
more than 4200 meters. You have to move carefully if the body hasn't yet
adapted to this height.
This sector is used to initiate several
excursions to the mountain range, especially to Ojos del Salado (only
for people in physical conditions able to withstand the lack of oxygen).
