What a lovely experience. It was a delight to the senses. The body and mind adapted in such a way that this journey through deserts, extreme temperatures never experienced, unimaginable landscapes between rocks and desert roads let us transit through nature never imagined, volcanoes, lagoons, flame pink gos, from sunrise to sunset. Feeling the energy of nature at its highest degree is a source of admiration for the Creator of the universe. Thanks to Joex Travel for designing this beautiful plan to let us know that there are hidden places in South America worth visiting. The guides especially Abraham, made this trip worth remembering. From Colombia, we are happy to have visited Bolivia and its emblematic places. Thank you, thank you thank you.

Gracias por confiar en Joex Travel para acompañarlos en esta aventura. Nos honra haber sido parte de un viaje tan significativo para ustedes y esperamos tener el placer de recibirlos nuevamente en futuras experiencias por Sudamérica.
Uyuni was not an easy trip. The border overland lengthens, tires, seems never to end. Add to that the height (more than 4,000 meters along the way) that forces you to go slower, to listen to the body. When we arrive, time seems to slow down; and not from nostalgia, but from contrast. It's a backward journey that makes you uncomfortable, but it also raises awareness, forces you to look at other life forms and other emergencies. More than a tourist destination, Uyuni is a journey of unexpected and tiredness, sustained by the warmth of people always willing to help.
