Our exploration of the strangest place in Bolivia begins at 10am, when your guide will pick you up and you’ll head straight for the train cemetery, where we can see the crumbling remains of Bolivia’s 19th-century railway empire slowly being consumed by the desert. We’ll see lagoons, cave paintings, and rock formations resembling everything from a teapot to a camel, as we traverse the weird expanse of the Salar to Villamar, where we’ll spend the night.

Meals: Lunch and dinner included

Accommodation: Mallku Cueva, Villamar

Laguna Roja (Red Lake) is a sight to see, with its changing colors, ‘eternal snows’, and pink flamingos.

Sol de Mañana, with its geysers shooting dozens of feet into the air, boiling mud pools, and ubiquitous sulfur smell, feels like where hell breaks through to the world’s surface, or the beginning of time when the Earth was being formed.

Today we’ll also see a different kind of desert, Siloli, with its red sand and stone trees.

Meals: All meals included

Accommodation: Palacio de Sal, Colchani

Our last day in the Salar begins with Incahuasi, a weird, fuzzy yet spiky island notable for its giant cactuses. It’s known as la Isla del Pescado to locals because it supposedly looks like a fish… a flight of imagination which underscores how devoid of landmarks the endless sea of white here is.

This afternoon we’ll take advantage of that emptiness, taking classic photos of each other in the world’s most weirdly perspective-less setting. We’ll bid farewell to the Salt Desert with a glass of wine in a front-row seat for a spectacular sunset.

Meals: All meals included

Accommodation: Palacio de Sal, Colchani
