Today, you'll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the border. You'll cross into Bolivia, passing through the stunning Eduardo Avaroa National Park, home to Laguna Colorada, Verde, and the Dali Desert. You'll spend the night on the shores of Laguna Hedionda with pats of flamingos.

You'll continue north today through the Altiplano, stopping at places such as the Rock Valley, Siloli Desert, and Tree Rock. Cross over the salt flat to enjoy the sunset at the camper.
