A very beautiful lagoon that is well worth visiting. Parking spaces and toilets are available, the entrance fee per adult is 5,000 pesos and for those over 60 it is only 2,000 pesos. You can sometimes see the flamingos quite close, but other water birds and cute lizards can also be observed.

Around 800 flamingos still live in the Chaxa lagoon. In the past, many more flamingos lived here, but the lagoon is becoming smaller and smaller due to the nearby lithium mining and thus the habitat of the flamingos is being narrowed further and further. But a visit is very worthwhile.
