Colors of the Desert

I recently returned from a 5-day tour of what's known as Bolivia's "Southwest Circuit," a popular route that covers some of the most spectacular desert scenery I've ever seen. Our group opted to begin at a lesser-known starting point, taking us through a less-touristed region during the first half of the tour and really allowing us to experience the isolation of the land, as well as giving us a chance to summit the 19,400-foot Volcán Licancabur. You can look for details of that trip in the coming weeks over at Matador Trips, but for now, the best way I can think of to describe this journey is to let the images themselves do the talking. Enjoy.
