Salar Tour
Rough southwest end of Bolivia
Several days lasting off road trip around southwestern Bolivia is one of the most amazing travel experiences. On the way along the high altitude upland plateau of the Altiplano you will see multicolored lagoons surrounded by numerous volcanoes and bubbling fumaroles. You will be able to bathe in the warm thermal lake and farther away will be frozen puddles. You will go to the „island“ covered with few meters high cacti and around you will be enormous salt plain. In this itinerary we describe the basic variant of the tour – crossing Altiplano from the Chilean San Pedro to Uyuni. continue reading

Tour of Rurrenabaque
