@mzb Thanks for the info on the drive, I’ve noted it all down.

But no, I cen’t bring Uyuni as much as I want to. There’s too much to do and too much to see already that I’m pencilling in down days to recover/do laundry etc. 7 countries in under 8 weeks (not counting the overnight in Madrid), 17 flights, a long bus ride and a ferry is enough without adding more 🙂

@meta
Altitude sickness is something I’ve not factored in although I’m aware of the potential impact. I didn’t have an issue last time when I went to Cuzco, Machu Picchu etc. The only time I did briefly suffer was when I was on the Belmond train, had been drinking red wine all afternoon/evening, missed dinner and woke up breathless in the middle of the night. So fingers crossed I’ll be ok.
