One of the highlights of Bolivia and entire South America: Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt-desert in the world. Surrounded by impressive volcanos, exceptional landscapes, it’s flora and fauna, Andean flamingos, colored lakes and much more!!! 40.000 Years ago, lake Minchin was located here. When it dried, it left behind a layer of salt that can be up to 20 meters deep. The amazing salar and impressive surrounding landscapes make this site unforgettable. The reflecting and disorienting effects allow for interesting photographing. During this tour we will sleep in a Salt-Hotel, visit indigenous villages and wonderful colored lakes, geysers, flamingo’s and much more.
