The salt flats are the remains of an inland sea (the same one as Lake Titicaca), that our tour guide told us existed "sometime before Christ" .... glad he knew the specifics. The tour was 3 days, stopping at various sites, with most of the day spent in a Jeep. By the end, we were pretty much toured out. T also had his first bad food experience, and where better to do it in the middle of the desert with no cover. After a quick duece, we pulled over a second time and T threw up what remained of lunch. No more mayo for T.
Salt hotel, made of bricks of salt. We stayed in one like this since this one needed repairs.
Classic salt flat picture. Thanks to Mark for pulling out his most fruity pose.
T with a 50 foot cactus.
Blue Lagoon. All the lagoons were full of flamingos, which seemed really out of place in the cold weather.
Yellow lagoon. Got it´s colour from sulfur...a little stinky.
Tree rock, sand filled wind has worn it away, they figure it will fall over in another 30 years.
Gysers at sunrise. Very cool.
Hot springs lakeside. Really nice after not showering for 4 days.
Green lagoon.
Red lagoon (as you can tell, not just clever names)
We´re now in Buenos Aires for a week...let the booze begin.
