9 Best Traveller Experiences in southern BOLIVIA

July 4, 2016

Salar de Uyuni in southwestern Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flats measuring more than 10,500 square km. Located at an altitude of 3,656 m above sea level in the Daniel Campos Province, this region is remote, unique, and inhospitable. The area is known for its scenery with dormant volcanoes, turquoise lakes, weird rock formations, and its volcanic active areas with fierce fumaroles and boiling mud pots. While the salar is rather void of any noticeable life other than the odd tourist Landrover and the giant cacti on Isla del Pescado and Isla Incahuasi, the area off the salar has [MORE...]

Sadly I did not find the locals nearly as charming as their city. In fact, I personally found the locals not welcoming at all, though they loved my dollars! :) [MORE...]

Geologists reckon that much of the islands were formed during the Miocene period between 14 and 9 million years ago. This period was followed by one of [MORE...]
