    Salar de Uyuni Night Stargazing Tour

    February 18, 2024 /

    It’s 3 am. It’s dark and cold. You’re moseying through calf-deep water in rain boots across some salt flats you were told you MUST visit while traveling in Bolivia. You look up and see millions of stars and the Milky Way shining bright above you. It’s the clearest night sky you’ve ever seen. The Uyuni Salt Flats or a Salar de Uyuni night stargazing tour is a must for your South America travel bucket list. Visiting the Uyuni Salt Flats at any time of day is possible. Some people visit on a 3-day trip from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, while others go on a one-day trip from Uyuni. I explored…

    Laguna de Los Tres Hike in El Chalten

    April 16, 2023 /

    Trekking Laguna de Los Tres in El Chalten is a Patagonia bucket list adventure. The iconic views of Mount Fitz Roy towering high above Los Glaciares National Park make this one of the most popular hikes in Argentinian Patagonia if not all of South America! The hike up to Laguna de Los Tres starts in the town of El Chalten, climbs through a desert-like landscape overlooking a glacially carved valley where Las Vueltas River flows through, then climbs up into the rocky alpine. From the lake not only will you see Fitz Roy and surrounding peaks but also views of the Piedras Blancas Glacier.
