What about listening podcast to tease you about Bolivia?
Well, my main goals in this country are first the salt desert “Salar de Uyuni” and secondly the lake “Titicaca“.
- Salar de Uyuni :
As you may know (if you have visited “who I am…”), I really enjoy huge space. So after white and iced landscape, this particular (not sand but salt) desert has struck myself. This world’s largest salt flat sits at 3653m and blankets 12,000 sq km. It was part of a prehistoric salt lake, Lago MinchÃn, which once covered most of southwest Bolivia. When it dried up, it left a couple of seasonal puddles and several salt pans, including the Salar de Uyuni. I just want to walk on it, maybe cross it (maybe I’m a little bit insane…)
- Titicaca :
Well, you could object that we can find Lake everywhere. And you are right. But since I appreciate the countryside and the beauty of nature, I have to go and see this famous lake by myself, where water and mountains are linked. Moreover, It sits 3,812 m above sea level making it the highest commercially navigable lake in the world. By volume of water it is also the largest lake in South America. That’s making it unique.
And what about crossing the border between Peru and Bolivia via a boat? Of course I need to check the customs, but that’s an idea…
