Next: Edoardo Avaroa National Reserve

We had to get up somewhat early but the night in the salt hotel was very comfortable.

We first had to drive for a couple of hours but were rewarded in the way with beautiful landscapes, vicuñas, quinua plantations. The first stop were at two lagoons where different types of flamingos were feeding. Bertram could practice ornithology skills again :-) Also, we had lunch and walked around the nice scenery and played “boccia”

We continued further and visited moon-like landscapes with nice rock formations - bouldering did not really work out ;-)

Second last stop were geysers at 5,000 masl with a “steam engine” billowing smoke out of a vast hole.

Finally, we arrived at the basic camp - and enjoyed the hot springs in the evening with star gazing :-)Read more
