Embark on a breathtaking adventure that takes you through some of Chile and Bolivia’s most mesmerizing landscapes. Begin your journey in the heart of the Atacama Desert, the driest non-polar desert on Earth, known for its otherworldly scenery of salt flats, lunar valleys, and vibrant flamingos gracing hidden lagoons. From there, venture across the border into Southern Bolivia, home to the surreal Laguna Colorada—a crimson-hued lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks and teeming with wildlife.

Your expedition continues with an unforgettable stop at the Uyuni Salt Flats, a shimmering expanse of white that stretches as far as the eye can see. Here, let your imagination run wild as you capture optical illusion photos or marvel at the mirror effect after rain.

Discover the magic of this city nestled in a dramatic canyon with the Andes Mountains as a backdrop.

Journey onward to Copacabana, the gateway to the legendary Lake Titicaca.
