It
is difficult to explain happens inside when you take your first
steps on the Salar de Uyuni.
It is difficult to recount, when you return, what you have seen,
what you have experienced
.
But what have you seen? Sky and salt. Nothing else!
In the Salar de Uyuni there is an arctic solitude that creates
profound emotions.
A deep breath, a glance to the sky looking for God, maybe, and
then you feel penetrated by a new peace, immediately, sky, salt
and silence are everywhere, and you walk and walk and walk
I
have never been as close to the sky as I was here, only the
angels separate me from the Divine.
I wish it was always day, to not miss a few hours of light in
which to admire the beauty of this place. But then, when the
night comes, you discover that the Salar de Uyuni from beautiful
becomes magical.
The desire to loose yourself in the Salar is strong, you would
never come back, but then reason takes over and brings you back
to base, to you travel companions with whom you
shared this unforgettable experience.
Desert Therapy works miracles, Desert Therapy makes beautiful
dreams come true, Desert Therapy gives you happiness!
Give me a Desert on which you can walk forever: then I will
be very happy!
Thank you Carla, Queen of the Deserts, Queen of my dreams, once
again you made me happy!

This evening I saw the photos taken by me, actually
of me:
I saw the dream I made come true, but it is so great
I
think I have lived it in a dream!!!! Its an odd play on
words, but it is really like this!
The
Salar was ours, incredible! For 40 kilometers under our feet,
it made us happy, made us realize our smallness and at the same
time our strength. There, in that magical place, we lived unrepeatable
moments together.
I
want to say again that the two moments that most touched me were
the emotions of Carla and Oscar looking out at the Salar (remembering
the challenge in 1994) and the view of the first camp set up,
when the confusion of sensations in me became calm.
A
great challenge of which I am very proud.
A
kiss to all.

.....and
to think that I would have chosen not to participate in this trip....and
instead now I feel privileged because I filled my eyes with incredible
and interesting walks, but above all I filled my spirit with strong
and unrepeatable emotions.
I felt little in the infinite desert of the Salar, comparing myself
with a place I didn't know, but at the same time I felt stronger
"inside". And how emotional in front of the magical
atmosphere of the Colored Lagoon....I think that paradise is like
this: a magical balance of nature that brings tears to your eyes.
How much I could write about this unforgettable experience, but
it is difficult to express the emotions. I will always have it
inside of me and this is thanks to the group of Desert Therapy
who, with much passion have accompanied our group on a journey
of the spirit.
Thanks to all of you and I hope to share with you the next...adventure!

It
is emotional the white silence of the Salar, but even more touching
is to see passing in the tearful eyes of Carla the memories of
many years ago.
An earthly paradise the Colored Lagoon: it is truly difficult
to leave.
A hell the mine of Potosì, where for a short while we saw,
more than we experienced, the hard work of the minors who risk
their lives and health in hope of a wealth.
Tiring but always satisfying the long travel, while we saw continually
changing scenery.
Responsibility, kindness and professionalism of the staff heightened
the emotions of this Great Trip, that is truly unforgettable.

Again
this time I can't express in words my experience! Incredible space
and light and above all an incredible world.
It was beautiful also to find myself again with my now steady
travel companions and share with them the emotions of a new experience.
Thank you Carla and thanks friends of Desert Therapy!

A
great sense of freedom, carefree and yet not alone, this is what
I gained from the trip to Bolivia, a place of beautiful nature
and at the same time very difficult.
A contrast that can be read on the faces of this population: so
happy as children, terribly dark and proud as adults.
La
Paz
a tangle of bricks, cars, people on the move: an anarchic
city.
The
Salar so hypnotically white: an immense blanket of salt. It seemed
to me to walk on chiacchiere.
The
Lagoons
unexpected colors, that surprise you with the passing
hours, leaving you dumbfounded.
Potusì and the mine April 1st: a challenge won.
A
final thought for my travel companions because thanks to them
and with them I can share and savor what I saw and experienced.
When
is the next adventure?

I
have made many travels: for work, for pleasure, to forget difficult
moments.
This trip was special: a journey to be with myself in a world that
I never would have faced alone. I believe that I will never forget
the colors of the Salar, the sound of the wind, the uncontaminated
nature that I was able to rediscover and that almost didn't exist
anymore in my imagination.
Thank you Carla, for having shared with us the magic that you discovered
many years ago!

the
trip came about by chance, or rather I choose to take advantage
of the coincidences that led me to meet Carla in Rome. The Salar
impacts you at first sight and it moved me like something you find,
that seems familiar, but to find something actually familiar you
have to search for a long time. I mean the space, but also the time,
the infinite boarder between the sky and the land, the sense of
infinity that gives you thousands of possibilities: and this is
freedom.
The
desert is an experience of absolute that always puts the person
in the center, it seems a contradiction, but is confirmed in the
discovery of various life forms, colors, shapes, you only have
to look for the cure. The Laguna Colorada comes from nowhere,
gradual in its harmony: llamas and flamingos, heaven and earth
that you enter into with ease and that never leaves you
.and
in all this nature before my eyes and in my feet there is the
presence of Carla, who I didn't know but who strikes me for her
discretion, balance and authenticity, and who I felt from the
moment we left was different than me, but the truth is that she
is there, among us. Nothing more can I say
.
