Choice of two three-day, two-night excursions around the largest salt flat on earth, complete with deluxe Airstream stay

San Pedro de Atacama / Jirira – Uyuni Salt Lake

We’ll sort out your crossing of the border from San Pedro de Atacama to Hito Cajon, i.e. from Chile to Bolivia, straight into the arms of the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, bursting with unique indigenous and endangered creatures that have made extreme conditions their bitch. Next up is the oh-so-aptly named Laguna Verde where the intensely emerald waters are almost as unbelievable to behold as the Manana Geysers where the craters have boiling lava and the fumaroles spew water and superheated steam harking back to the beginning of our planet. Once you’re suitably awed, Laguna Colorada with its red-hued waters that perfectly complement the three, yes three, species of flamingos that live there, is your next stop, complete with vicunas (think alpacas but cuter), llamas and vizcachas. Would you believe that’s only Day 1? Day 2 begins in your Deluxe Airstream on the Uyuni Salt Lake, and an excursion to some of the 10,000km+ flat where you can hear the silence filter through surreal pentagons of crystalline salt, sky, cacti and the odd flamingo. Shutterbugs will have plenty of time to take it all in, since the lake is also the place for a special gourmet lunch, before heading to the Chiquini Cave and Ayque archaeological site. Evening brings a cocktail, dinner and overnight stay in your Airstream, while the morning sees you try to leave for La Paz. We know, it is difficult to say ‘goodbye’.
