Remember that joke about eating “over” a ton of dirt? (it’s hilarious when you’re 7 J)
Well, now I can say I’ve eaten over a ton of SALT!
Recently, I went on a rugged adventure through Bolivia’s salt and sand desert. The salt part is 12000 sq km, and several feet thick of hard white salt.
Our group was 15 people from language school.
Tour guides took us in 3 Land Cruisers, along with all the food, cooking equipment, and gasoline we’d need for 3 days. They worked so hard for us and did a great job.
We saw red lakes….
And green lakes…
A volcano…
Llamas…
An "island" with cactus...
And some rail road tracks...
But NO telephone poles!
Bouldering is so much fun!
The incredible desolation was so peaceful. We drove 800 km seeing not much more than sand, salt, distant mountains, and some tough wildlife that had to be pretty serious about living to survive (I’m convinced a certain type of Alpaca/Deer can sustain itself from eating stones… ) and it was so beautiful!
beautiful! I'm so glad you were able to go! I'm curious...how much did the trip cost you? I'd love to go but I'm on a super tight budget :-/
