HIGH-PLAINS FAUNA
Bolivia's Altiplano is a wilderness of bleak and vast proportions. Up here, under the shel-
tering sun, wild herds of vicuña are on the rise. Lucky visitors will also spot South Amer-
ica's aloof version of the ostrich, the rhea, plus any number of Andean camelids.
SALAR DE UYUNI
Adventure abounds on a three- or four-day jeep tour of the Salar de Uyuni. There are
mountain-bike trips and ATV tours from nearby Tupiza, as well as climbs up massive vol-
canic peaks and descents into centuries-old mines.
EXTRAORDINARY VIEWS
As you make your way across this remarkable and remote wilderness, you'll marvel at the
world's largest salt flat, whimsical rock formations, cacti-filled valleys straight out of the
Old West, volcanic peaks, technicolor lakes and a sky that seems to stretch forever.
