The salt flats are awesome. They are the largest salt flats in the world - stretching for 12,000 sq km. They were once part of an inland sea so there are coral outcrops throughout.

The white from the salt flats lets you do funny things with the camera - like walk into a pringles packet or stand on a beer can.

yep.
You know what I love best about your blog? Apart from the fact you write so well that we feel like we are there - but because like my experience, you are so awed by the wonderful people. I have always found it hard to generalise about people but for people of incan/mayan descent are, to a man, so wondrously sweet, peaceful, contented and humble. It's making me smile just reading! besos y abrazos! Amanda x
