We'll board an off-roading vehicle to ascend into the Bolivian highlands, where you can marvel at the striking Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca, two stunning salt lakes located within the Eduardo Avaroa National Park. These lakes rest at an impressive altitude of 4,300 meters (14,107 feet)!

Next, we will explore the Salvador Dalí Desert, a landscape that evokes the colors of the famous artist's works. Our adventure continues at the hot springs of Polques, where you can enjoy a soak while observing flamingos. A well-deserved lunch follows, after which we will seek out the Morning Sun Geyser, perfect for uncovering the volcanic beauty of the park.

We will also stop by Laguna Colorada and the community of Quetena Chico, where we will spend our first night recharging for the days ahead.
