Huascaran National Park contains over 600 glaciers and more than 300 lakes with new lakes being born each year. This one, Laguna 69, being one of the most famous. Just Stunning! #laguna69

Sometimes a furry friend is all you need when travelling! This adventurous fella decided to follow us along on our first two days on the Santa Cruz trek in Huaraz, Peru. We paused for lunch at the top of Punta Union Pass, and marvelled at the sheer beauty of the lake below 💎💎💎

Sometimes a moment aligns perfectly. This white horse just trotted into the frame and looked right at me. The white horse roaming across the Cordillera Blanca Mountain valleys encapsulates that sense of freedom that travelling gives. A cliche, perhaps, but a well deserved one! ❤

The train graveyard in Uyuni. A mausoleum of locomotives in vivid graffiti or rusting away amid the blue skies and lonely sands of the desert.🚂🚂🚂

No visit to the salt flats is complete without a crazy perspective photo session, of course. We love this one 💛

As dusk fell, the mountains took on a delicate rosy tint as if paying homage to the flamingoes tip toeing across the glassy lake.

The immensity of the salt flats is hard for the human eye to take in. It's a glimpse of eternity where life and time shrink to insignificance. 😍

To top off an incredible day, our accomodation at this salt hostal was one of a kind. Everthing was made from salt - including the crystal carpet crunching under our feet! 💎💎💎

🗻a haiku🗻 An upturned mountain, Framed by iced peaks and cracked earth, Floats in watery sky. ************************* Poetry came easily in the vast canvases of Bolivia's landscapes. Where do you feel your creative juices flowing?

A flamboyance of flamingo chattering in the shallow waters of Laguna Colorada. We were blown away seeing so many of these elegant birds at such close quarters and in a landscape of such immense proportions. A true feast for the eyes.

An alpaca in the Eduardo national park, Bolivia. We loved seeing herds of llama, alpaca and vicuña roaming the vast plains. Owners identify their beasts with colourful woollen decorations adorning their fluffy chests or hanging delicately from their ears.

One thing that came as an amazing surprise on the salt flats tour was the incredible variety of the landscape. Lago Verde has a green tinge thanks to the content of arsenic and other minerals. Our tip is to take a four day tour from Tupiza rather than Unyuni. There are far fewer companies to choose from and the route takes you through the REA national park ending at the salt flats.
