...or in between earth and heaven is being on the Salt Flats of Uyuni tour in southwestern Bolivia. It is a tour completed entirely in a 4x4 jeep. It is one of the most surreal, magical, and beautiful experiences I have had on this trip. The breathtaking scenery included multicolored altiplano lakes filled with wild flamingoes, snow covered volcano peaks, gushing geyers, natural hot springs, ancient rock formations in the orange desert with roaming wild llamas and vicuñas, 1000 year old cactuses, and of course the star of the show...the dried up ancient salt lakes that seem to extend forever in every direction (including up into the sky in the reflection of the thin layer of rainwater on top of the salt).

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR...IT IS A MUST DO. 😊
