Colores de Bolivia

Bolivia was indeed very different than Argentina. The mountains are all red with contrasting pieces of green patches that really do a great job at grabbing your attention. Typiza, at 10000 feet of altitude, was a beautiful place. Two of the Israeli kids that had crossed the border with us, Avishai and Shai, had decided to go to some other city nine hours away so they could save 30 dollars on the Salar tour.

Tal and I booked a tour for 95 U$, the average going rate. We would be out the next morning at 10 am.

The Salar is perhaps Bolivia's most famous tourist spot. Bolivia has all kinds of treks at 18000 feet of altitude, but the salar is very very unique. It is basically a six thousand square mile salt flat. It is much like a frozen lake, only it is all salt. The tour consists of four days running around the desert, looking for cool stuff.

With the tour, we get an experienced driver and a good cook, in our case Santiago and Dami. Other than Tal and myself, the group consisted of Colin and Carry, a couple from Oregon, Jeremy, a French salesman, and Rosanne, a nineteen year old Dutch woman.
