When heaven and earth become one – then you have arrived in the largest salt desert in the world: The Salar de Uyuni at 3,000 metres above sea level. If you come at the right time, you will experience the perfect…
A night in the snow, in a tent, high up in the mountains: for some the epitome of peace and quiet, for others cold feet and freezing. And in fact it’s a little of both. Those who still want to dare…
