The route continues to the Dalí Desert, a vast expanse of sand and rock that looks like something out of a surrealist painting. Its shapes and colors, molded by wind and time, evoke the paintings of the master Salvador Dalí.
Later, we will cross the Siloli Desert, where unique natural sculptures such as the iconic Stone Tree and the rock formations known as the Ladies of the Desert rise up. The evening light bathes the rocks, revealing golden and reddish hues that transform the environment into a natural masterpiece.
After the cold, there is nothing better than relaxing in the hot springs of Polques, a true natural oasis surrounded by mountains. If you wish, you can enjoy a bath in its mineral-rich waters while contemplating the serenity of the Chalviri Salt Flat stretching out on the horizon.
We will continue to the Sol de Mañana geothermal field, where the earth breathes and roars through fumaroles and boiling mud pits. At an altitude of almost 5,000 meters, you will feel the pure energy of the planet beneath your feet.
Now we will set off for the heart of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve (REA), one of the most impressive places in the Bolivian highlands. Get ready for a day where nature displays all its splendor and the infinite range of colors unique to South Lipez.
