Why does Summer always recommend including Bolivia in a South American trip?

Because traveling from Atacama in Chile to Uyuni in Bolivia to see the Salar de Uyuni; then all the way to Lake Titicaca, and finally taking the Sun Route to Cusco and meeting Machu Picchu, this entire journey is the crème de la crème!
This route starts from Buenos Aires, visits the lush Iguazu Falls, then heads south to the desolate yet breathtakingly beautiful Patagonia.
Then it heads north to the extremely arid Atacama, only to find the rainy season in Uyuni, with the entire salt flat filled with water.
In South America, as latitude and altitude change, so do the seasons and weather. This is the true charm of traveling in South America!
