Over the Andes...

After passing between Andean mountains and volcanoes at an altitude of over 4000 m (13 400 ft), the B-357 road from Laguna LejÃa descends to the Salar de Atacama.
Salar de Atacama is a huge dry lake at an altitude of about 2440 m (8000 ft), located south of San Pedro de Atacama, between the Andes and, barely visible in the distant haze, the Cordillera Domeyko. It contains the largest known lithium deposits in Chile.

The Salar de Uyuni in the Andes in southwestern Bolivia is the largest salt pan on earth. A prehistoric, dried up lake almost 11.000 m².
Larger surface area than e.g. Lower Bavaria. The brine under the surface reaches up to 72m, possibly 121m in depth. With glistening brightness it resembles a frozen lake, is almost free of any kind of living beings.
The southwest of Ecuador is home to a distinctive birdlife compared to the rest of the country, with the climate and geography producing a much drier type of forest.
I did not expect to find myself in this type of environment based on the itinerary chosen for my trip to Ecuador, but I discovered that this thorny forest makes an incursion far to the east, into a dry and sunny valley, isolated, otherwise surrounded by lush mountains, very humid and often shrouded in mist. The proximity of these two very different habitats is surprising, and it is in this way that it is possible to observe birds such as this stunning Black-capped Sparrow or the Elegant Crescentchest well outside the main part of their range.
This is a boon because the species related to the semi-deciduous forests of the southwestern half of Ecuador and northwestern Peru are mostly rare and confined to this region on a global scale, and the discovery of the small Rumi Wilco reserve, right on the edge of Podocarpus National Park, is well worth a visit.

An overwhelming view of the central Andes. I would have loved to stay there longer.

A perfectly aligned series of Inca windows inside the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu, Peru.
This photo captures the incredible symmetry, geometry, and engineering precision used in Inca stone architecture.
Taken during a visit to the high Andes, this layered window frame shows three aligned stone walls — a design feature that reflects the Inca understanding of structure, balance, and visual harmony.
