Travelblog Chile & Bolivia
Chile and Bolivia – a journey through landscapes, wild and silent, where the desert burns and the sky breathes.
From the salty vastness of the Atacama Desert to the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, I found a play of fire and frost, depth and height. The colorful lagoons of Bolivia, like Laguna Colorada, glow like painted dreams, while the Uyuni salt flats tremble under the sun – a dance between earth and reflection.
My travel stories from Chile and Bolivia capture these contrasts – a breath of infinity that stirs the soul.
