Next, take a short hike to 'Isla Incahuasi' to see giant cacti and rock formations made of petrified coral. Then have lunch.

Finally in the day, enter the “Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve” (NATIONAL PARK), visit the Siloli Desert (the highest and driest in the world), take a photo next to the 'Rock Tree' (a lava rock formation ).
