5 – Float on the Water at Laguna Cejar

The water at Laguna Cejar has a higher salt concentration than the Dead Sea, allowing you to naturally float on the surface.

Laguna Cejar itself is a flamingo habitat. Visitors are not actually allowed to get into its waters. Tour agencies will instead take you to the adjacent Laguna Piedra, where you can lazily lay in the water, relaxing on a hot desert day.

When packing for your trip to the driest desert in the world, don’t forget to carry your swimsuit. Be sure to rinse off the salty water after you get out. There are a few showers on site but it’s generally advisable to bring your own fresh water to rinse off afterward.
