Reflection . . . Perfection !!

Like a bewildering vista from another planet, the stunning Salar de Uyuni mirrors the Andean landscape to perfection.

Bolivia is the hidden jewel of South America: stupendous Andean vistas with exotic, other-worldly features like the Salar de Uyuni; lush jungles teeming with wildlife now protected by vast parks and reserves as yet little-known to the outside world; peopled by a fascinating mix of indigenous cultures still preserving their age-old native traditions (Aymara, Quéchua and many others), with Europeanized modern Bolivians living in cities that also reflect the nationwide mix of the traditional and the flamboyantly modern.
