Laguna Cejar- San Pedro de Atacama

This photo was taken in 2014 by a friend in San Pedro de Atacama, when we took a trip to northern Chile.





I appear in this photograph floating on the Laguna Cejar. In this lagoon you can swim  though you don´t know how to do it, because the water has a high concentration of minerals and salts that make anything from sinking!

What I liked most about the trip, is that this was a place to relax really with friends and we was also a good opportunity to be surprised by the phenomena of nature and physics.


I remember that in this photograph I was calm. I could not relax because I can not swim, so at first I was afraid of drowning. I could not believe I was floating. My friend took me photography, after laughing a lot of my great fear of water. 

Both enjoyed the lagoon. The only problem was when we dry, because we were full of salt in our bodies, clothes and hair. My hair was really stiff!

It was a very pleasant journey, full of surprise and laughter and of course relaxing.
