Notes: Because of its nature, this itinerary may vary: occasionally road conditions are too adverse during the rainy season (Jan. & Feb.) to make the crossing from Uyuni to Argentina and we may have to change the route. During this time we will spend a higher proportion of nights in hotels and less time camping. As a results the Kitty may be higher than expected. This is a beautiful time of year to travel here but please ensure that you bring a decent sleeping bag and adequate clothes.
