The viewpoint “Mirador de Putre” signals the arrival to the Andean village of Putre at an altitude of 3.500m above sea level. Observe the idyllically placed village between green fields of oregano, called “green gold” by the locals. In the back, the “Nevados de Putre” (snowy peaks of Putre) rise high into the sky.
From the viewpoint, one can already spot the beginning of the National Park Lauca. Apart from the beautiful views, the stop helps with acclimatization to the high altitude. Without doubt, this place with the volcano of Taapaca in the background offers a unique and magical scenery.
