Your high-altitude heart-pounding (literally) adventure kicks off today. After meeting at our office in central San Pedro de Atacama, climb aboard our van for a short 1.5 hrs. drive to Hito Cajones - the Bolivian border outpost. Transfer onto our 4WD after clearing migration formalities and drive into Eduardo Avaroa Reserve. Not long after we find ourselves looking at mesmerizing Laguna Blanca and Laguna Verde after which we visit the Dali Desert and spend some time relaxing at the Polques Hot Springs. Continue our adventure to the highest point of the trip at 4900m, Sol de Mañana geyser field. Today’s grand finale is Laguna Colorada, a nesting site for thousands of pink flamingos that get their color from the red-hue algae abundant in this lagoon. Meals: Lunch, Dinner (L, D) Accommodation: Very basic desert lodge. Shared room with shared bathroom (mixed-gender)
With a full day to loiter, expect an entire photo album of dramatic landscapes such as the Siloli Desert and its surreal Arbol de Piedra (stone tree) and idyllic Andean lagoons; not to mention plenty of Andean wildlife! We'll explore our first taste of salt flats today at Chiguana Salt Flats. The night is yours to enjoy mingling with your fellow travelers or enjoying your rest at our comfortable ‘salt lodge’. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (B, L, D) Accommodation: Twin or triple room with shared bathroom (lodge is made of salt)
Unlike our itinerary in the dry season, we will not be visiting Incahuasi Island today. Instead, we will drive to the southeastern edge of the Salt Flats and carefully enter the surreal ‘mirror of the sky’ driving slowly through a few inches of brine that flood the entire surface of the salt flats every year during the rainy season (December - March). We will be able to walk on the few inches of water for the best reflection photos which is something difficult to be forgotten. After spending as much time as possible in the salt flats, we exit once again headed for the town of Uyuni where the tour ends around 3 PM. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch (B, L) Accommodation: Not provided Meals: Breakfast, Lunch (B, L) Accommodation: Not provided
