An epic landscape... strange for me to think that huge expanse of level land is so high up...

the salar (salt lake) are really flat , but the surrounding is not really "level" land, although it is not the same type of shape as in other mountains.
Hiking at 4000m altitude , you feel the difference when it is not "level" (even when not really steep)

I see... yes, I guess it's an effort even getting up low rolling hills when one is at higher altitudes. Not an easy trek, by the look of it.

Beauty , for sure ...
But not any feeling of desolation up there , it was just a strange feeling , mix of calm, endless view, pure air...
