Aug 22, 2009 - Bolivia: Salar de Uyuni

We did a 4-day jeep safari from Tupiza to the Lipez in SW Bolivia and up through the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. We visited laguna verde (green because of the presence of arsenic) and laguna colorada (red because of the presense of algae) and we took a bath in some hot springs. ... Day 3: We stopped at the Stone Tree and passed by many vicuna, flamingos and volcanoes.We did a 4-day jeep safari from Tupiza to the Lipez in SW Bolivia and up through the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat.

Jan 21, 2008 - Salar de Uyuni tot de Laguna Verde

3 dagen samen met 5 amerikanen een stuk van de grootste zoutvlakte van de wereld, de woestijn en verschillende lagunes bezocht en uiteindelijk de bus genomen aan de grens met Chili naar San Pedro de Atacama. Verder richting Chili gereden door een wat meer bergachtig landschap met prachtige lucht en bergen tot aan het laatste meer, de Laguna Verde. ... Het water van dit meer is wat groen gekleurd vanwege de aanwezigheid van algen en mineralen die er ook voor zorgen dat er geen leven zit in dit meer en er dus ook geen flamingo's te zien zijn.3 dagen samen met 5 amerikanen een stuk van de grootste zoutvlakte van de wereld, de woestijn en verschillende lagunes bezocht en uiteindelijk de bus genomen aan de grens met Chili naar San Pedro de Atacama.

Mar 17, 2007 - Laguna Verde, Bolivia

March 17-18, 2007 A 4am wake up and leave was bright and early for everyone in the group, however there was a purpose for it, we wanted to be able to get up early enough to drive up one of the mountains to 5000m above sea level to watch the sun rise. After breakfast we made our way to Laguna Verde (Green Lake), as the name suggests the lake was a beautiful green colour which was made more spectacular by seeing the reflection of the mountains surrounding it. ... This unfortunately was the end of our journey through the desert, we then started the 5 hour journey back to Uyuni where we would catch the overnight train at midnight to Oruro, then catch a bus to La Paz.March 17-18, 2007 A 4am wake up and leave was bright and early for everyone in the group, however there was a purpose for it, we wanted to be able to get up early enough to drive up one of the mountains to 5000m above sea level to watch the sun rise.

Oct 11, 2006 - 4x4 Trip - Day 3 (Laguna Verde, Bolivia)

We're all feeling pretty disgusting this morning after no showers. After a few hours of swimming in our own filthy sweat we saw one of the most welcome sights so far - hot springs! The hot springs were warm (not too hot), very clean (the water completely recycles from the ground very quickly) and nothing could stop me from jumping in there as soon as I could! Feeling human again, we continued on to our last lagoon - the Laguna Verde (the Green Lagoon). ... The minerals and alae in the water makes it an almost perfect turquoise.We're all feeling pretty disgusting this morning after no showers.

Sep 1, 2006 - Lagunas Colorado and Verde

Our tour of the Andean Altiplano, the widest area of sustained high plateau outside of Tibet, continued from the slat flats to the exceptionally high and active volcanos and stunning lagoons of the area. We also toured the aptly named Laguna Verde. ... After hours and hours of baren volcano landscape the color contrasted so drastically with our environment that we delighted like little kids at the lakeside, taking dozens of pictures.Our tour of the Andean Altiplano, the widest area of sustained high plateau outside of Tibet, continued from the slat flats to the exceptionally high and active volcanos and stunning lagoons of the area.

The next we awoke early and back on the road, we visited loads of Lagoons and lakes full of noisy flamingos (which strangely reminded me of Laura and a shopping bag incident one lunch time at school!).The next we awoke early and back on the road, we visited loads of Lagoons and lakes full of noisy flamingos (which strangely reminded me of Laura and a shopping bag incident one lunch time at school!)....

Nov 2, 2005 - Bolivia - Salar de Uyuni

Aski churatam! Amazing, beautiful, impressive, gorgeous, unbelievable, imposing, breathtaking, awesome, stunning. It was hard to get out to the cold again but we survived! LAGUNA VERDE (4400m) - A blue-green lake that gets its incredible colour from lead, sulfur, arsenic and calcium carbonate. ...
