We recommend booking a 4WD adventure across the blinding Salar de Uyuni. Start your journey by riding across the world’s largest salt flats where you have the perfect opportunity for some photos. Watch as the landscape changes to desert, volcanoes and coloured flamingo-filled lakes and you’ll also experience spurting geysers, hot springs and the surreal Dali Desert.
