Incredible pictures, looks like a trip to do. How much time did you take on it? Do you have some recomendation to do it? or some lerning lessons about?

Hi Gonzalo. Sorry for my delay!

I spent 24 days on this trip (First photo on this thread).

Specifically in Uyuni + "Ruta de las Lagunas (Bolivia)" we spent 5 days. For this part, I recommend you one day plus, it seems me better for you to enjoy your journey with more time.

It was amazing! I highly recommend this trip. The route is very hard for the rig, so, although it is not impossible, is more safe do it in two or more vehicles.

Don't expect structure there. You can find some hotels and hostels, but… In this video, you can check it out the beauty of this route:
I definitely learned one thing: I love the Andes Mountains! Spent the night there, camping in the middle of nowhere, was an awesome experience that I had the privilege to repeat some times…

Yes, Matthew, it is a Disneyland for overland travel lovers…

My last overland trip, head to the end of the Carretera Austral (Villa O'Higgins, Chile). Here, the Talampaya National Park, in Argentine. Awesome!

That's my last round trip…

All geological eras exposed in one place! Ischigualasto Provincial Park, a UNESCO world heritage site in Argentina. Impressive spot and less-visited them other less interesting places. Check these perfectly spherical rocks! The name of this area is "bocce court". It's awesome!!!
