During my three months of solo travel in South America, the Atacama Desert stands out as one of the most beautiful places I visited, with such diversity in colour in the mountains.
From San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, I did day tours to Piedras Rojas and Valle de la Luna. Both feeling like I had landed on another planet. The vastness of the desert is incredible!
I then embarked on a three day trip from San Pedro to Uyuni in Bolivia, passing through various lagunas including Laguna Verde, Laguna Blanca and Laguna Negro (all the colours!).
It was such a highlight of my trip and some of my favourite photos that I took across South America were taken here.
There was also lots of incredible wildlife, including the flamingos pictured and lots of guanacos, alpacas and even spotted a viscacha.
