Bolivia can rightfully be called a real treasury of natural attractions . Transparent lakes, inaccessible mountains, extinct volcanoes, tropical forests - all this is available to tourists in this part of the world. Among the noteworthy places should also be allocated a small-sized Syloli desert, located in the south-western part of Bolivia. Let's talk about it in more detail.
What is interesting about the desert?
The Syloli desert is part of one of the most popular natural reserves of the country - Eduardo Avaroa National Park . In addition to the unique flora and fauna, the reserve is also famous for its unusual rock formations, which are visited annually by more than 60 thousand tourists from all over the world.
It is thanks to the quaint stones that resemble fairy-tale trees, and the Syloli desert is famous. The most famous such a "tree" is a stone formation 5 meters high, called the Arbol de Piedra .
It is worth noting that, despite the status of the "desert", in this region it is not hot at all. Even in relatively good weather, it's always windy and cold, so when planning a trip, do not forget to bring warm clothes and shoes.
How to get to the desert?
It is impossible to get to Sylori by public transport. Tourists wishing to visit this place can book a tour of the park Eduardo Avaroa . You can also rent a car and get to the desert by yourself.
By the way, only 20 km away is another natural landmark of Bolivia - Lake Laguna Colorado . This reservoir became famous for its unusual red color of water, which is due to the high content of minerals and sedimentary rocks.
