Bereid je voor op een episch 8-daags avontuur door Zuid-Amerika!
Je zult adembenemende bezienswaardigheden zien zoals de Uyuni zoutvlakte in Bolivia - het is een gigantische, sprankelende zoutwoestijn! Je verkent ook de Altiplano, een hoogvlakte met kleurrijke lagunes, gekke vulkanen en spuitende geisers. En laten we de Atacama-woestijn niet vergeten, een van de droogste plekken op aarde.
Maar het gaat niet alleen om het landschap. Je duikt in de cultuur van de Andesbevolking, leert over hun eeuwenoude tradities en proeft heerlijke lokale gerechten.
