Two of Bolivia’s most dramatic landscapes — combined in one journey. Sajama National Park is home to Bolivia’s highest mountain (6,542m), ancient Aymara mummy tombs, the “Sistine Chapel of the Andes” (a 16th-century Renaissance church in the middle of the altiplano), hot springs, and lagoons filled with flamingos and vicugnas. From there, the route continues to the Salar de Uyuni for a full day on the world’s largest salt flat. This is Bolivia’s volcanic altiplano at its most concentrated.
