We've had an amzing 4 days doing a tour of southwest Bolivia. First day included more canyons, whilst on the second and third we went through a national park full of lots of volcanoes, beautiful coloured lagoons and lots of wildlife. Went swimming in some super hot thermal pools which was lovely, although very painful getting out as it was freezing! Also saw an abandoned village now home to lots of chinchillas (rabbit-kangaroo-squirrel cross creatures) and llamas. Finally on the fourth day, we got up super early to see the sunrise over the salt flats around Uyuni. Really stunning scenery, if not a bit of a bumpy ride!
We travelled around in jeeps with an amazing cook called Modesta who prepared some tasty meals, although there was one which involved eating very tough stewed llama. Not so nice. Stayed in very basic and cold accommodation for the first two days but had a lovely hostel on the final night which was made from salt and much nicer.
Now have left Uyuni (on a very very bumpy bus) and arrived safely in La Paz where we will spend the next few days.
