Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama at 06:30 am, heading towards the Hito Cajones border crossing. As you enter Bolivia, the landscape transforms dramatically into a surreal high-altitude desert. Dominating the horizon is the majestic Licancabur Volcano, reflected in the striking emerald waters of Laguna Verde — one of the most iconic treasures of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Reserve. This marks the beginning of your private 4x4 expedition, as you approach Laguna Verde at the foot of the volcano, surrounded by one of the most unique and otherworldly landscapes on the planet.

Visit to Polques Hot Springs Enjoy a relaxing stop at the Polques Hot Springs, where you will have the opportunity to soak in naturally warm, mineral-rich waters surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the high-altitude desert — a perfect moment to unwind and connect with the serenity of the Altiplano.

At over 4,800 meters above sea level, you will explore the extraordinary geothermal field of Sol de Mañana, a surreal landscape where the earth seems alive. As you walk through this high-altitude terrain, you will witness intense volcanic activity — steaming fumaroles, bubbling mud pools, and powerful jets of vapor rising from the ground, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Altiplano.

The journey continues across the vast and windswept landscapes of the Altiplano, leading you to the iconic Stone Tree (Árbol de Piedra), a striking natural formation sculpted by centuries of wind erosion, standing solitary in the middle of the desert. From there, you will cross the surreal Siloli Desert, one of the most remote and visually dramatic regions of the expedition, where the raw beauty of the high-altitude desert reveals its most authentic character. By late afternoon, you will arrive at the Tayka del Desierto Hotel, a unique and charming lodge harmoniously integrated into its surroundings. Known for its warm atmosphere and rustic elegance, it offers a cozy and welcoming retreat in the heart of this remote landscape — the perfect place to rest and reflect after an extraordinary day of exploration.
