The last of beautiful Bolivia

Desert, Volcanoes, Lagunas, Stone valley, Geysirs, Lava Craters and Natural Hot Springs.

We had to get up at 4am one morning to go up to 5.000m and see natural Geysirs and Craters. It was -5 degrees up there but the water coming from the geysirs is 250 degrees hot. You can see the lava bubbling in the holes in the ground, one just has to be careful not to fall in. The steam is pleasently warm and you can warm your frozen hands on it. Quite amazing to see this spectacle of nature.
At 7am we were rewarded with a bath in the Natural Hot Springs, the water is 35-40 degrees warm. Compared to the chilly outside temperature it was very very pleasent! It really took some willpower to get my kit off though (yes, unbelievable for a German, innit?).
