WILD ADVENTURES


Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia SALTSCAPES & DESERT JAPES


Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is a truly magical place. Vast expanses of salt blend into the sky upon reaching the horizon. The three-day 4x4 journey from San Pedro to Uyuni, Bolivia, is a classic trip. "It really is an incredible three days," says Tucan Travel's Latin America destination manager Scott Marquardt. "From Bolivia you start off in the salt flats. The next two days are spent crossing the Atacama Desert, where you climb to altitudes of over 4,500 metres above sea level." HOW TO DO IT: Tucan Travel's 14-day Bolivia, Chile and Argentina tour starts at £1,427. tucantravel.com
