Best Time to Visit
Salinas Lagoon can be visited throughout the year.
Between May and November, the dry season typically reveals the spectacular white salt fields that characterize the salt flat.
Between December and April, seasonal rains create the lagoon, attracting larger numbers of birds and transforming the landscape into an entirely different environment.
Both seasons offer unique experiences and excellent photography opportunities.
