• Vamos, Senõr Freddie. Día 2.

    18 september 2023, Bolivia ⋅ 🌬 7 °C

    Power generator electricity at the hotel between 7pm and 10pm only, it was a juggle to charge all our devices. But now back on the "road" again.

    First stop was Rock Tree. Formed when lava explosion came down into what was water covering this area and solidifying. Forming this unusual shape, a bit like a tree.

    Driving a little further we made an unplanned stop at this rock formation. Interesting on it's own, it wasn't until it was pointed out to us that it was covered in these adorable creatures called Viscacha. Rabbit looking except they have a really long tail. One was close enough that our guide Albie was able to hand feed it coca leaves.

    Quick stop for a photo at the 7 colours range before we stopped at the small salt flats to see the rail line that goes through Bolivia to Chile.

    Next stop was for the Flamingos again at Stinky Lagoon. Maybe the smellier the water is the happier the flamingos are it seems, as there were hundreds around in this lagoon. There is also a hotel literally on the banks of this lagoon. Where, I'm told, they take the water directly from the lagoon for showers and toilets etc. It has its name for a very good reason.
