"Bolivia is becoming South America's hotspot for off the beaten track travel. It's a country with stunning landscapes from the largest salt flats, the Salar de Uyuni, to the rainforests of Rurrenabaque to the north. Most of the country is at a high altitude being dissected by the Andes...Other landscape wonders that you will see include green mineral rich lakes surrounded by perfectly coned volcanoes, odd Dali-esque rock formations, and pink flamingoes on the edge of ochre tinted lakes."
