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!!!! It’s 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…….
