After visiting Sucre, a quiet colonial city in Bolivia, I headed to Samaipata, a small village in the middle of the jungle, with a tropical climate. I stayed there two days before going to Cochabamba to meet my family, after spending 20 years without seeing them!
Après les paysages du Salar d’Uyuni, je me suis dirigé vers Tupiza, dans le Sud du Pays, une zone aride dont les paysages font penser au Far West 🙂
Everybody knows the Uyuni salt flat, the largest in the world, famous for its pictures with white ground as far as the eye can see, where you can play with perspectives 🙂
However this is possible only during the dry season and I went there during the rain season, with a totally different landscape! But let’s first talk about the three days’ trip from San Pedro de Atacama in Chile that ended in Uyuni in Bolivia, where Heaven met Earth…
Le désert d’Atacama est le plus aride du monde, dont la ville principale, San Pedro de Atacama se situe à plus de 2400m d’altitude! Bien que ce soit un désert, les paysages ne sont pas simplement de sable et de dunes, mais de montagnes, volcans, lagunes et désert de sel.
