Bolivian High Andes

Yesterday we were up at 5am to drive up to 4,600m and bizarrely cross the border into Bolivia at a checkpoint in the middle of nowhere on a simple dirt track. As soon as we were in Bolivia we transferred to trusted Toyota Land-Cruiser 4x4 as the only way to move over this tough terrain.

Yesterday we visited numerous lagoons, volcanic geysers, volcanos and the like. All over 4000m so the air was very thin. It was very cold too on occasion - perhaps -10C.

Today we had a more relaxed day travelling around the high Andes seeing strange rock formations, more lagoons and an old “Wild West” style town.

So far we have driven 450km in Bolivia - all off road. We ended the day near the salt flats which we will be visiting tomorrow.もっと詳しく
