When people imagine Bolivia, their minds are likely to go to the vast, awe-inspiring Uyuni salt flats, the largest in the world. However, Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve, which lies further south, straddling the northern corners of Chile and Argentina, is equally spectacular.
Founded in 1973, this 7,150sq-km area – roughly 4,750m above sea level – is home to vibrant lagoons, hot springs, crazy rock formations, active volcanoes and high-plain deserts.
