Photo of the Day: Best View For Bathing In Hot Springs

| by Jason on August 4th, 2024 | No Comments » | Photo of the Day

This is the greatest scenery you could ever imagine while bathing in natural springs. The hot springs are located in the Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve of Bolivia, which is included in the 4 day Uyuni Salt Flats Tour. We stopped to enjoy lunch just inside the park’s entrance where the springs empty into a large lake. Once you were in the pool, you didn’t want to get out, because the weather was freezing!

The Wari Empire was a pre-Inca civilization that constructed extensive roadwork across Peru. Believed to have been conquered by the Incas, Wari peoples no longer exist. Pikillacta lies 30 kilometers outside of the city of Cusco and covers 2 square miles. It appears very large, but much is still to be excavated and restored.

Valle de la Muerte, also known as Death Valley, is easily accessed from the desert of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The large sand dunes are ideal for sand boarding, hiking and experiencing sand blasts in the strong desert winds. Be sure to protect your cameras, or you will end up with sand in your lenses like we did.

Photo of the Day: Valle de Frances Patagonia

During our Full Circuit Trek at Torres del Paine Patagonia we hiked to the top of Valle de Frances. Valle de Frances is the middle leg of what forms the “W.” If you can endure it, there is a hidden trail that continues to lead up the mountain past the spot where most hikers have lunch. The hike is a bit dangerous especially when the surface of the rocks freezes but the views are just stunning.

During our exploration of Northern Argentina we visited Salinas Grande. These are not the largest Salt Flats in South America but beautiful none the less. This main highway runs right through the Salt Flats providing excellent panoramic views.

These mountains have the nickname “7 Color Mountains” they surround the town of  Purmamarca in Northern Argentina.  There is a trail on the outskirts of town that is an hour long and provides great views of the surrounding mountains.

This breath taking view is located just north of a small town called Campo Quijano.  From Campo Quijano we raced our rental car to catch a glimpse of the Train of the Clouds (or Tren de las Nubes), a popular tourist attraction in northern Argentina.
