Considered one of the most visited attractions in Bolivia, the REA (Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa) is located in Provincia Sud Lípez, at the southern end of the Department of Potosí.
It is there that the country shows its wildest side: wild life that shows itself without shyness, such as flamingos, guanacos, vicuñas, pumas, Andean foxes, condor and vizcachas; striking landscapes that streak the horizon, outside the car; and archaeological and cultural experiences that set the tone for the trip through this extremely, desert and cold region.
The only dirt road is the Camino Hito-Laguna Colorada. This is the third and final day of the tour.
Any trip that takes place in this country of more than one million km², in the central sector of the continent, is always a demanding adventure of long journeys in 4×4 cars, where public transport does not arrive, or on board buses that make an endless drip through inland villages.
The climate in winter (May to August) is dry, generally with no rain during the summer (December to April). The average temperature is 3 °C (37 °F). The lowest temperatures are recorded during the months of May, June and July.
