The legend says that these mummies are from an era where it is said that the sun did not exist in this region, but when the sun was created, the mummies were burned and currently remain as mummies. The Altiplano is the area where the Andes are the widest. It is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet. The bulk of the Altiplano lies in Bolivia.

We enter the Eduardo Abaroa reserve and come to Laguna Colorada (Red lake) which is located at the elevation of 4278 m and considered one of the most beautiful sites in the region. It has a high concentration of salt and minerals that is suitable for the creation of red microorganisms that appear the favorite food for flamingos.

It is so surrealistic and resembles paintings by Salvador Dali, that is why it has such a name.

Such a color is resulted by oxidation of minerals such as copper, sulfur, magnesium and other minerals. Due to high level of arsenic, nothing lives in this beautiful lake.
We pass beautiful plains with bright green moss and clean rivers populated by bizarre birds and chinchillas.

Day 13. November 3, 2026 (Tuesday). CLIMBING UTURUNCU VOLCANO

Wake up early in the morning and at 5.00 a.m. depart by our SUVs to Uturuncu volcano.
With a height of 6 008 m, Uturuncu is considerably higher than neighboring mountains, and the tallest peak in the region. Uturuncu has two summits, with a fumarole field between them. The volcano was sporadically active during the Pleistocene, with the most recent eruption dated at 271 000 years ago. Since then, Uturuncu has displayed fumarolic activity. Starting in 1992, satellite observations have indicated a large area of regional uplift centered on Uturuncu, which has been interpreted as an indication of large-scale magma intrusion under the volcano. This might be a prelude to large-scale volcanic activity, including "supervolcanic" activity and caldera formation. In 2012 the large eruption of Uturuncu was predicted that would paralyze all flight connection across the globe, but it did not happen. By 4WD cars we reach up to 5500 meters above sea level, and the real ascent is only five hundred meters or so. This distance is usually covered in 3-5 hours. From the top we can see more than 40 small and large lakes. We make a short rest, then we undertake the descent that takes an hour approximately. Then by cars we start our descent to Quetena Chico and way back to Uyuni. On the way we stop in some beautiful place to have lunch. In the afternoon we head back to Uyuni with short stops in San Cristobal and other places.
