10-Days Deserts Roadtrip in Chile and Bolivia: Atacama, Uyuni, Titicaca lake & La Paz 🇨🇱🇧🇴


Located in northern Chile, the Atacama Desert is considered one of the driest deserts in the world, while the Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt flat in the world, located in southwest Bolivia. Join me as I recount my unforgettable Bolivian adventure, a 10 Day Deserts Roadtrip in Chile & Bolivia from March 21st to 30th, 2018.
