The first stop was just before sunrise where we had a good breakfast (Daniel makes terrific scrambled eggs) as the sun came up outside the Chaxa Lagoon, home of flamingos. It was beautiful as were all of the sights we saw later in the mountains. There were plenty of vicuna and seeing rhea was a bonus. A good lunch was provided and we were back in San…”
