Trip Highlights

Venture into South America's most surreal landscapes from Bolivia to Chile, where the sky kisses salt-crusted horizons and ancient deserts glow under the stars.
Traverse the Uyuni Salt Flats in a 4WD. See the Salt Hotel and Dakar Rally statue, discover the cacti and coral-like structures on the rocky island of Isla Inca Wasi and enjoy a picnic lunch in the middle of the flats!
Walk along the historic Plaza Murillo and Calle Jaen on an orientation walk through La Paz. Ride the Teleferico (cable car), then visit the Killi Killi viewpoint for panoramic views of the city and the mountains.
Explore colourful lakes, volcanoes and arid landscapes throughout the Siloli Desert. Pass the Ollague Volcano, visit the Iglesia San Cristobal Lipez church and stop at Hedionda and Canapa Lagoons – often home to a vibrant group of flamingos!
Drive across the driest place on Earth – the Atacama Desert. Along the way, explore the Sol de Manana Geysers, relax in the Polques Hot Springs and watch the sunset over Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon).
