BOLIVIA

SALAR DE UYUNI, VOLCANOS AND COLORFUL LAKES (Sept 2007)   photos

From La Paz I went to Santa Cruz de la Sierra where I met with Alicia, who flew from Lima to spend her holidays with me in Bolivia.   The next 24 hours we were traveling on torturous roads towards Uyuni.  That's where one of the greatest tours on the continent starts.  It involves driving long distances in a 4x4 as that corner of the country has virtually no roads.  However, it's totally worth it, as you can see from the pictures!  Some of the most amazing scenery on this planet can be found there.  Blazingly white salt flats, dotted by cactus-studded islands, followed by flamingo-filled lakes and weird-shaped rocks.  If that's not enough, there are steaming geysers and colorful lakes, the red one always my favorite.  I just wish we had more time to enjoy it!
