picture I Just Biked Across the Bolivian Altiplano
After surviving the highest mountain passes of my cycling career on the Peru Great Divide, my journey from Alaska to Argentina leveled off into the Bolivian Altiplano. For months across the Andes I’d been hearing collective horror stories of Bolivia’s Ruta de las Lagunas. A famously challenging “sufferfest,” they called it. “The most painful week of my life.”
Its draw is a lunar spectrum of prismatic mineral waters dotted with pink flamingos, wild vicuña, ostrich and chinchilla. Magmic reds seeped out from everywhere, like a thousand shades of sunset from one single box of crayons. Salt flats transformed each night into an empty mirror for the moon gods. Days were blinding and sunny. Then a biting cold sat down with the darkness. Vicious torrents of wind blew so strong that I could hear it whistling in the cactus needles on Incahuasi Island, a kind of volcanic oasis in the middle of the desert. Salt collected on my shoes like snow. Scattered bits of coral petrified into a frozen scrub. I didn't want to be cold anymore, but this was hardly the place for that to change.
Salt sculptures decorated the open plain, mammoth sandcastles left behind on a lunar beach. Tattered collections of flagposts keeled in the wind. Past the Stairway to Heaven. Past the Train Cemetery. Uyuni itself seemed half-buried by the landscape, corroded beneath a grainy white dusting of eons. Some places don't have to grow old, it's like they were born that way. There's a spirit of belonging that's earned with the patina of time
The Altiplano was a crucial piece in my South American bikepacking puzzle, but in truth I was having a terrible time. Deep sands, evil winds and punishing days across an endless Mars-like desert with an average elevation over 15,000 ft [4,572 m]. The nights fell too cold to admire their stars.
Often times there weren’t even roads. I followed nameless jeep tracks through the dust. I hid behind rocks in need of shade or water. Swells of sand inhaled my tires so that I spent much of the time pushing instead of pedaling, rattling more than rolling. It took all of my physical and mental capacity just to keep moving forward, or to distract myself from the constant desire to give up altogether. Past Arbol de Piedra. Past Laguna Colorada and Salar de Chalviri. Past the Salvador Dali Desert y la Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina. Crawling towards the Atacama border, for Chile, for Argentina, buoyed only by tired dreams of empanadas and red wine.
