Atacama and beautiful Bolivia

In one of the driest places on the earth and it rained! Which made sandboarding even more fun:) Last chilean completo and it was time to go for another adventure. To cross the Bolivian altiplano to Uyuni, but in the rainy season. Our Swiss friends Fiona and Dominic had already done research and we decided to go with Cordillera travel. We were really lucky having a great driver, and shared the car with two very funny English guys, Luke and Alan. It was 3 days of fun, breathtaking scenery and some gasping for air for Katja:) We crossed geysers and lagoons all at 3000-5000m.

Our words and pictures can't do justice to the beauty of this place! Come and see it for yorself!

Aja, končno sva našla sva kraj kjer je Lux hitrejši od Katje ::)) nad 3000m.
