A 4 day jeep safari across southern Bolivia turned up amazing salt flats (140km long and deep enough to cut bricks out of – that they make houses out of!), flamingo rich lagoons and geysers, as well as awesome lava flows that where perfect for climbing. Luxuries are understandably limited in this terrain, and 7+driver in a jeep is always uhm cosy, especially for 6-10 hours a day. But here were some nice hot springs and some cool sights that i think speak for themselves.
Word to the wise: Don’t buy bolivian salt! After having personally stood on driven over and licked (not in that order) the salt that will then be dried crushed and packaged to be sold... On the up note there are signs telling you not to pee on it so maybe you’ll be OK... maybe.
Also navigativg a train through the salt flats using the Einstien field equasion is not recomended as this derilict train will prove.
