Overview
Day one crosses the Salar de Uyuni, more than 10,000 km² of blinding white salt, with stops at the train cemetery, Incahuasi island and its giant cacti, and endless perspective photos. Night one is spent in a hotel built of salt.
The next days climb through the Siloli desert and Eduardo Avaroa reserve: red Laguna Colorada with its flamingos, the Sol de Mañana geysers at 4,900 m and a dawn soak in hot springs before reaching Laguna Verde beneath Licancabur volcano.
