How about a trip to Bolivia Western Desert

Bolivia Western Desert Dec

SummaryA Brief Summary

Snow blindness is not something you might expect to get in Bolivia… but, if you’re anywhere near the western region of the country, you absolutely must visit the Salar de Uyuni, one of the worlds largest salt flats and a glistening, bizarre, spellbinding gem of an attraction that is insanely bright! High altitude sun, bleach-white salt and gin clear blue skies make for epic photographs and a truly out-of-this-world-experience. As you might expect, nature dominates here, with the high Andes an awe-inspiring sight from almost every place you travel to or through. Sajama National Park is a beautiful, rugged and wonderful place for a few days hiking, with mountains, hot springs, and a host of llamas and alpacas. There is also the town of Potosi, one of the richest towns, per capita, on earth. It’s well worth visiting the mining operations here that gave the town its wealth, but be prepared for a reality check when you’re there!

WeatherAbout the Weather

A mostly cool and very dry region, with extreme high temperatures almost unknown, with 31°c being the highest temperatures experienced here, anytime from Nov to Mar. Nights are cool year-round, but can be extremely cold, due to the gin clear skies and high altitude, especially during the southern hemisphere winter, from Jun to Aug, with temperatures well below -15°c. Rainfall from Apr to Nov is practically non-existent, but some rain does fall in the form of very sporadic showers during the rest of the year. Sunshine levels are high throughout the year, but it is exceptionally sunny from May to Sep.
