The travesía to these remote and attractive destinations constitutes perhaps one of the greatest travel experiences one can have.

The San Pedro oasis in the midst of the Atacama Desert is undoubtedly a last frontier. In spite of its aridity and extravagance, it is an environment where man can live while conserving its large spaces.

The altiplano reaches heights over 3,600 meters (11,800 ft.) and at its furthest point, the Salar de Uyuni, is a continuation of the Atacama in that, it provokes the imagination and provides romantic memories of purity and vastness while offering little hope of survival or a place to set down roots.

If the driest desert symbolizes the end of habitable land, the altiplano appears as another world: an enigma more than an opportunity; food for thought, not for the stomach.
