SALT FLATS & SUMMITS UYUNI + HUAYNA 6088M
Mirrors of Salt and Ice
This program combines Bolivia's two most impactful experiences. We begin in the **Salar de Uyuni**, the world's largest salt desert, where landscapes look like they belong on another planet, then return to the Cordillera Real to face the challenge of **Huayna Potosi**.
It is the ideal choice for those wishing to experience Bolivia's geographical diversity in a short time, combining a high-end cultural tour with a technical yet accessible mountaineering expedition.
