Swim in the Pollequere springs

It was about 9 am by now. We had been walking around in the area for almost 2 hours. Now, was the perfect time for a swim in the hot water of the Pollequere springs. The temperature of the pool was about 60C and was a bit hard to adjust to initially but once in it was very nice and cosy. The air was still quite cold but the sun was very harsh and piercing. We waded around for 15-20 minutes before coming out. After drying up, it was time to move on. The previous evening, we had arrived at the Salar Surire quite late and had not been able to see it properly. Plus I had read that there were a lot of birds and animals in this vacinity so we had planned to go around the salt plains now (a loop of about 60 kms). The Pollequere springs were at the South corner of the salar and we had planned to go clockwise around it and then continue further South.Read more
