We introduce you to the region with a talk. In the end of the day, you and a guide discuss and decide where and what you will be exploring in the next few days, adventure yourself over the Altiplano’s 4,000 m.a.s.l is an experience you will not regret.
In San Pedro, you may choose from several options of excursions ranging from horseback riding, bicycle riding, bird watching, astronomic tours, visits to archaeological sites, salt flats and geysers, or incredible valleys hidden in the midst of the desert. On the morning of day 9, you will depart towards Hito Cajon Border Pass to cross into Bolivia. There you will meet our Bolivian Team and exchange vehicles before beginning a jeep-ride across the desert into Bolivia to explore the largest salt flat in the world. That day you will explore the colorful lagoons and surreal landscapes of the Bolivian Sud Lipez

Another option is enjoying a visit to the charming village of Coquesa and its mummies, which are sheltered in a cave located 600 m above the village, also granting beautiful views of the salt flat. At about a 1-hour-and-15-minute drive lies the interesting archeological site of Alcaya, an old pre-Columbian city near Salinas. Those who are fit can hike to the lower edge of Tunupa Volcano crater. When operational, a visit to the “salt mines” will help you understand how locals collect the salt from the surface of the salt flat. A daily visit to the quinoa fields or walk to encounter llama farmers amidst their herd are a unique way to understand the local culture – and the dedication needed to fight the extreme climate and make a living in spite of it.
