Overview

This privately designed five day journey explores the most remote and visually striking landscapes of the Bolivian Altiplano, combining the immense scale of the Salar de Uyuni with the surreal beauty of the southern color lagoons.

UYUNI AND SOUTHERN ALTIPLANO TRANSITION

The journey begins in Uyuni, quickly leaving town behind as the route moves into the open landscapes of the southern Altiplano. Early exploration introduces the region’s industrial and mining history before transitioning into increasingly remote terrain marked by wide horizons and dramatic geological features. As the day progresses, the scenery shifts toward isolated highland settlements and volcanic plains, offering a first sense of the scale and silence that define this region. Arrival in the southern Altiplano allows time to settle into the rhythm of high altitude travel.

Flamingos gather along the shores, adding movement and life to the stark landscape. Geothermal activity emerges through steaming geysers and high altitude wetlands, followed by surreal rock formations and open plains framed by snow capped volcanoes.
