The Wilds of SW Bolivia (Salares)

After a long ride on a psychedelic bus to Uyuni, we traded in for a tour in a Toyota Land Cruiser and headed off into the Salt flats. Within a few hours we had a flat tire, which Juan - our game tour guide - fixed within minutes. We spent the night at a salt block hotel (see photo of Ashley and Anel trying it out).

Pink flamingos were everywhere, flying low across the salt flats on their way to their favorite lagunas.

We stopped at an island of cacti and had a fabulous lunch prepared by our accompanying cook, Magali.

Lagunas were beautiful.... as were the Rock formations

Vicuñas roam wild and were everywhere!

We almost froze the 2nd night....

But soon warmed up at the thermal springs.

Everyone was very tired our 3rd day as we raced back to Uyuni. Lots of llama everywhere!
