our old school moto diaries photo.. following our cruise around lago titicaca we picked up our good buddy Schreiber in la Paz and booked it down to the salar de uyuni for a little romp around bolivia's salt flats in southwestern corner of the country. 3 days of bombing around at 15,000 feet through rock forests and dried-up coral fields, across antarctic-like plains of salt, into caves, past geysers and hotsprings and drinking box wine in the Landcruiser as the sun set behind snowcapped peaks. fantastic. the whole area was once a giant salt water lake back in the day and the landscape and scenery were so spectacular and halucinagenic at times it was like we were on drugs. but we weren't. just coca leaves, lots of coca leaves. and remember, la oja de coca no es un droga.one of the most bewildering collection of natural wonders
