Laguna Lejía is a shallow salt lake located on the high-altitude Altiplano of the Antofagasta Region in northern Chile. It has no outlet and covers a significant surface area. Access to the area is managed, with entry requiring a ticket purchased in the nearby town of Talabre. The gate to the area is open from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM, after which entry is not permitted. The start of the route to the lake can be accessed by vehicle. The primary consideration for any visit, including potential paddling, is the extreme high-altitude environment. Altitude sickness is a significant and important hazard that must be planned for. Certified guides are highly recommended for activities in the region. The lake is situated in a dramatic volcanic landscape near the prominent Volcán Lascar, which dominates the views. The overall character of the experience is defined by its remote, austere beauty in a harsh and otherworldly desert plateau. There are no specific facilities, amenities, or described water access points for paddlers. The water is saline, and typical seasonal water temperature patterns, specific water quality details, and recommended paddling routes are not detailed.
