LAGUNA VERDE

The Laguna Verde, located over 4 325 m above sea level, owes its name to its emerald green colour. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in Chile, a sumptuous site, difficult to descriptible, since the lagoon is surrounded by a unique amount in the Andes of high snow-capped volcanoes (several exceeding 6 000 m, such as the Barrancas Blancas at 6 119 m and the Muerto at 6 470 m, not forgetting the Ojos del Salado). Route 31 then leads to the Paso San Francisco, which leads to Argentina, and to the towns of Fiambalá and Tinogasta.
