day 15: The beauties of the South Lipez
Today, departure at dawn in order to reach the geysers of Sol de Mañana, located at more than 4850 m of altitude: bubbling craters, fumaroles of sulfurous vapors await you.
After this spectacle of the Earth, you will descend to the Polques thermal baths, where volcanic activity presents a calmer face: thermal baths, characterized by mineral-rich water at a temperature of about 30ºC. After swimming, a comforting breakfast will be served to help you fight against the very low temperatures at this altitude.
Continuation of the visit to the Salar de Chalviri, populated by pink flamingos, under the benevolent gaze of the volcano Licancabur (5960 m). You will also cross the desert of Dali, which takes its name from its gigantic stones with strange shapes.
Then you will arrive at the Laguna verde, which owes the color of its waters to the high concentration of lead carbonate, sulfur, arsenic and calcium, a color that changes according to the winds.
You will then take the road to the village of Uyuni.
Lunch included. Dinner at leisure.
