After a salty swim

Diane and Marie-Claire return to the car after swimming in one of the salt-saturated ponds of the Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache.

The Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache are a group of 7 pools averaging 5 meters in diameter and up to 6 meters deep with a very high salinity (about 220 g/l).
They are located in the remains of a dried-up salt lake southwest of San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) and can only be approached by car via a 45-kilometer dirt road.
