It is said that this water has healing properties due to its saline acid concentrations. In the dry season, the surface of the Salar de Uyuni has almost geometric shapes formed by the salt particles agglomerated in polygons. In the rainy season (December, January, February and part of March) the Salar is covered with water and resembles a giant mirror. During our journey we will observe the Statue of Salt erected to mark the passing of the Dakar Rally in Bolivia. Then we will walk into the old salt Hotel: Playa Blanca.

We invite you to carry a flag from your country and leave it at this significant point. We will have lunch enjoying the beautiful landscape inside the Salar.

Inside the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve strange landscapes and wind formations can be seen with basaltic rocks, gigantic volcanoes, thermal waters, and fumaroles.

      The most important rock formation shaped by the wind from basalt rock is, without doubt, the Stone Tree. We will make our first stop here and then move to Laguna Colorada, a favorite nesting place for flamingos. We will observe three species of flamingos: Chilean, James, and Andean. We will go to the Sol de Maรฑana fumaroles and geysers located at 4850 mts - 16000 feet.

These volcanos are part of the volcanic mountain range of Los Andes, in the Southwest of Bolivia. Both are the border with Chile, at the foot of both volcanoes lies the beautiful Laguna Verde.

      The intensity of the green color of the water in the lagoon depends on the wind in the area.
