Please Note: Read the information BELOW very carefully BEFORE you RSVP "Yes" for this event. 1. This is a 6 day trip to Bolivia. I am only allowing PP members who have attended at least a couple of events already and whom I am already familiar with. You must be low maintenance, easy going, and okay if unplanned things happen and we can't stick to the exact itinerary because some things beyond our control can occur during trips. I am not being paid extra to hosting this trip. You are basically joining me while I'm on vacation. So keep that in mind. 2. Any deposits paid are not refundable after February 1st, so only sign up if you are 100% planning to attend and perhaps get travel insurance. 3. YouTube video of Salar de Uyuni: [The Largest Mirror on Earth | BBC Earth Explore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb6wYxN6dH0) 4. A Sample of things to visit and eat at La Paz: [You HAVE To Visit La Paz, Bolivia 🇧🇴: Top Things To Do & Must-Try Eats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC6UInu8lf4) Day 1 March 21. LA PAZ Arrival into La Paz, the highest capital in the world and transfer to your hotel, La Casona Boutique. Day 2 March 22. LA PAZ (Breakfast) After breakfast, enjoy a full city tour of La Paz, with a unique topography containing few flat areas and protected by its eternal guardian, the snow peak of Ilimani (6402m). You will visit Calle Sangarnaga with a visit to the witches market, Iglesia de San Francisco and Mirador Killi Killi for an excellent view of the city. Housing the seat of government, La Paz is a city of contrast, between both ancient and modern. The city center sites include the Plaza Murillo (with its presidential palace, national congress and metropolitan cathedral), museums, and many interesting markets. A visit will also be made to the Valley of the Moon, just on the outskirts of the city. Enjoy a ride on the cable car before returning to your hotel. Day 3 March 23. LA PAZ - UYUNI – COLCHANI (Breakfast, lunch & dinner) Early transfer to the airport for the flight to the Salares de Uynui, or Salt lakes. We will have an unforgettable trip across 12 000 km2 of fantastic salt landscape. We will enter the Salar by Colchani, where we will stop to visit the salt factory and we will receive comments on the salt family economy which command the life of this village. Once the first visit done, we will enter the Salar and stop at the salt mounts from where we will continue to the dominating and magic Thunupa Volcano. We will ascend a part of the volcano with the car to the Coquesa Mummies. From this point we will have a nice view upon the monumental Salar. Then we will descend to Tahua where we will have lunch. In the afternoon we will depart for Chillima village, at the north, from where we will start the second ascension still with the car toward La Pucara. We will start 60 to 90 minutes walk to the impressive flat landscape of La Pucara de Chillima. Day 4 March 24. UYUNI SALT LAKES (Breakfast, lunch & dinner) This day we will cross the Salar from north to south with the first visit at the Incahuasi Island which is one of the central tourist attractions. We will follow the little path to arrive at the top of the island from where we will get the amazing 360o view on the Salar. Then we will continue toward the Mala Mala Bahia, to find the Galaxia Cave where we will find a cactus sanctuary and petrified stromatolites and finally a Chullpas cemetery (ancestral burying) . The cave presents a very weird sub-aquatic geological formation from the era of the Michin Lake (300 000 years ago) and from the Tauca Lake (40000 years ago). We will continue the expedition towards San Pedro de Quemes where we will have lunch and a rest in the Tayka Stone Hotel. In the afternoon, we will head towards the lagoon chain of Cañapa, Hedionda, Chiarkota, Honda and Ramaditas, where we will see three types of flamingo and other kinds of birds. These birds live on the lagoons alongside the volcanoes After the last lagoon, you will enter the huge and great desert area with no roads. Accommodation. Day 5 March 25. UYUNI - SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA (Breakfast & lunch) We will start early to visit the Stone Tree which is a stone in a tree shape. Then we will arrive to one of the gems of the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve, the Coloured Lagoon. This lagoon is the main nesting centre of the three kinds of flamingos and its colour produced by algae and plankton activated by the sun and the wind give the red and pink colour to the flamingos. Then we will witness the geysers of Sol de Mañana. At this point we will be at the most elevated altitude of the trip (5000m above the sea level). The cold is intense and we will walk among the smoky and noisy vapour springs. In Polques, we can even have a bath in the hot springs and have a good open air breakfast. We will then approach another huge place the Desert Ladies Valley. After this valley we will head towards the Green Lagoon which is at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano. We will arrive at lunch time, which is the best time to see how its waters change colours from emerald green to deeper green. After this, we will continue toward the Chilean border and cross the border into San Pedro de Atacama. Accommodation. Day 7 March 26.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
