点评:The Antiplano region covering southern Bolivia is an area visited with tour groups or tour guides. It will usually take 2 days to get from San Pedro de Atacama in Chile to Uyuni in Bolivia.
As far as I know, self-driving is not permitted through the national park and over the roads connecting the Bolivian border near San Pedro de Atacama and Uyuni. If you could self-drive, it would be a brave choice. The roads are a maze and extremely rough. There are very few signs to show the way and the poor driver would not be able to enjoy any section of the journey as they would have to be too focused on the road.
After the painful exercise of the border crossing, the remoteness and beauty of the region opens before you. There are many places to stop and marvel at, including lakes of every colour, volcanic activity, hot springs, colourful hills and mountains and all types of strange rock formations. The promised flamingos do not disappoint – they are there and plentiful, especially at the famous Laguna Colorado.
The ride is rough along the stony volcanic trails. And it’s high, so prepare for possible altitude sickness (prior medication may help as it’s pretty much impossible to ease your way to the higher elevations as often advised). Also, there can be temperature extremes. I can’t say what it would be like in summer but at the time I went in mid-April, it was so cold it did make it difficult to get out of the car.
Overall though, the experience is unmissable and is definitely one to jot on your bucket lists.

翻译:覆盖玻利维亚南部的 Antiplano 地区是旅行团或导游参观的地区。从智利的圣佩德罗德阿塔卡马到玻利维亚的乌尤尼通常需要2天时间。
据我所知,自驾车是不允许通过国家公园和连接玻利维亚边境附近的圣佩德罗德阿塔卡马和乌尤尼的道路的。如果可以自驾,那将是一个勇敢的选择。道路是迷宫,极其崎岖。很少有标志指示道路,可怜的司机将无法享受旅程的任何部分,因为他们必须过于专注于道路。
在过境的痛苦练习之后,该地区的偏远和美丽展现在您面前。色彩斑斓的湖泊、火山活动、温泉、五颜六色的丘陵和山脉以及各种奇岩怪石,有许多值得驻足和惊叹的地方。承诺的火烈鸟不会让人失望——它们在那里而且数量众多,尤其是在著名的科罗拉多拉古纳。
沿着多石的火山小径骑行很艰难。而且它很高,所以要为可能出现的高原反应做好准备(事先服用药物可能会有所帮助,因为几乎不可能像通常建议的那样轻松到达更高的海拔)。此外,可能存在极端温度。我不能说夏天会怎样,但我四月中旬去的时候,天气太冷了,下车都困难。
总的来说,这种体验是不容错过的,绝对是您的遗愿清单上不可错过的体验。
