The stuff of films

---

This place is truly extraordinary. It´s just one massive salt lake, the biggest in the world and it can withstand the weight of a jeep, laden down with 8 people and their stuff for a 6 day tour. Crazy!

Driving along the miles and miles of perfectly flat, white, expanse of lake you have to remember to close your jaw in order to swallow the huge gulps of amazement your senses are taking in.

The otherworldly beauty of this place continues into the glacial lakes whose waters are stained bright red or emerald green by micro organisms or mineral deposits.

Just go and experience it yourself. My words cannot do it justice. Check out the pics.
