The Salt Flats tour was one of the major highlights of my trip. Despite being a bit disappointed by the group I was traveling with (a young Dutch couple, their older parents, and an American guy my age who was pretty cool), I had an incredible time. I have never seen such incredible scenery in my entire life! Get yourself to Bolivia! Or at least live vicariously through me...that is, if I ever get caught up on my blog. :)

I took hundreds of photos, so please check out my photo album for a taste of the salt flats...
