RNDFA Eduardo Avaroa is a the southernmost west corner of Bolivia, nestled between Chile and Argentina. It is amazing: not surprisingly, here they called the desert the Desert of Dalì. It is like strolling into the brainstorm of the most eclectic artist, in the middle of his most visionary moment.
Roads are leading to nothing else than something beyond the edges, while an ecstatic scenario of thousands of colors, shapes, templates where glossy and matte are mixed together by dusty roads, deep blue sky, rainbow volcanoes, boron whirlpools over heavenly-pink lagoons, lying over golden grassland and silver rocky grounds. Then, look up, the flamingos are sailing the sky.
You will find yourself heading to the sky, actually altitude is amazing, and, while you challenge with the wind, you can experiment the feeling to be nowhere else than in the place you want to be stuck in that moment. Ahead, say Bolivia at loud voice, this is the Altiplano.

BOLIVIA NOTE MAP

Highlights of the RNDFA Eduardo Avaroa are commencing since your entrance at the south border with Chile (Portuezelo del Cajon). Licancabur (which can be climbed up to the summit) and Juriques towering over Laguna Blanca & Laguna Verde, Dalì Desert, Cerro Nelly, Salar de Chalviri, the hotsprings and geyserfield of Sol de Manana and finally the super-star Laguna Colorada, with its colonies of flamingos...and how to forget the coca leaves and the “mate de coca”, as drink to pair the lunch at the worn hostal nearby the lagoon.

RN Eduardo Avaroa is fantastic slice of the Altiplano, as it embraces whatever you can dream (and much over) about a journey into a wilderness land on off-beaten tracks.
The desert, the sky, the snow and ice melting into water, the volcanoes, the yellow grassland, the salt pans with swirls of boron dust, the alien-look lagoons, the geyser spots, the hot springs, the fauna (the flamingos!!): they all contribute to generate an incredible world.

This amazing protected area is accessible from San Pedro de Atacama, passing through some of the most outstanding panoramas you will come across in entire life. Access at Portezuelo del Cajón is something to manage with caution, as at Bolivia's border post you can face some unofficial request and restriction. Be careful and clever in your behavior. On the other way to avoid border-post issues, you can simply rent a dedicated tour for yourself only with an agency based in San Pedro de Atacama.
Licancabur and Juriques towering over Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca are the first of vast number of wonders you will encounter in your magic track heading to Laguna Colorada and its flamingos colonies, which are the super-start of this day-trip. Just to tell the mainothers: Sol de Mañana and Dalì Desert, both like painted by eclectic artist.
