Today we pass lots of lakes with different shimmering hues and we see a variety of wild life including elegant and brightly coloured flamingos. Throughout the valleys of this arid area are vast rock formations with colors of reds, yellows and whites, exposed by the massive up thrust of the Andes over millions of years. We make a visit to the famous wind sculpted “Arbol de Piedra” or tree of stone. In this area we can see the cultivation of Quinoa, a native cereal to the region which is very high in protein and is recognized by the UN as a superfood for humanity. Heading down some dusty roads we enter National park Eduardo Avaroa.
