Surire Salt Flat

The altiplano and the Andes Mountain Range are waiting for us, the good thing of the Andes is the sun rises early. 

We depart from Putre to the Surire Salt Flat, land of vicuñas, alpacas. tolas, paja brava and pumas. Its people, they are only a few, lives in small towns, all of them are breeders, dedicated to the llamas and alpacas breeding.

We will visit Ancuta, Viluvio, Guallatiri and the recently restored church. These towns are located in the middle of endless pampas and wetlands. On the other side of the road, the high mountain range watches us and we will see the vents of the active Guallatiri volcano. In the saline waters of Surire, hundreds of flamingos nest and raise its breeds. The flight of these birds beautifies the Andes landscape. Box lunch on route.

In the afternoon, return to Putre with the images of a great day.
