The transition from Peru to Bolivia was striking. From steep, craggy peaks, deep valleys, and rushing rivers, to wide open plains, lakes, and sand. I rode by the legendary Lake Titicaca, and the capitol, La Paz, with it's unique teleferico system.
The highlight of Bolivia may have been the crossing of the salt flats. I had never been in an environment that was anything like them. It was like being on open water with flat horizons and scattered islands.
In the southernmost part of Bolivia, I rode through the Salvador Dali Desert with all its brightly colored sand, shallow lakes, and windswept plains.
Finally I crossed the border into Chile and headed down to San Pedro de Atacama.
