We will visit the Cañapa, Hedionda, Honda and Chiarcota lagoons, which are used by flamingos as feeding and resting spots during their migratory movements. We will pass through the Siloli Desert, home to the Stone Tree, whose shape and form are the result of wind erosion over time. Finally, we will see Laguna Colorada, so named for the reddish colour of its waters, which serves as the gateway to the Eduardo Abaroa Reserve.
