BOLIVIA SALT LAKES AND VOLCANOES

3 Nights /2 Days
Cultural and 4x4 Adventure Tour
  Flight La Paz-Uyuni-La Paz

 

 “A fascinating tour through volcanoes, the imposing Altiplano,   Salar de Uyuni, Laguna Colorada and Laguna verde.

 

“ The Salar de Uyuni, or salt flat,will provide you with an unfogettable visual experience as well as an album of photographs friends will envy you for.

However, the experience is not for those who love luxury, pampering or comfortable temperatures.

Suffice to say that god did not design the huge and barren salar, located at 3,660 meters above see level, with the tourist in mind, and that in the eons since creation humanity has done little to improve on the Creator´s work. So get ready for stunning visual experience- but also climatically bracing one.

The Salar is part of the Altiplano ( High Plain), the huge flat plain stretching betweeen the east and west ranges of the Andes mountains. The Altiplano has been made flat and smooth by the silt deposited by innumerable eons of water rushing off the mountainsides into the inter-range valley, which has no natural outlet except evaporation. The water has  carried  in salts and other minerals, leaving the Altiplano soil saline and some of its smaller lakes extremely saline. The same plate tectonics which have pushed up the Andes mountain range also raised the altiplano to an altitude nearly equaling the summit of the Matternhorn”. Mike Ceaser...
