Not a patch on McCrankpin's wonderful stories, but...
Pan De Asucar in Chile (if it's not too cold) is wonderful. I spent a whole week sharing the campsite with 1 or 2 others - sunset over the Pacific and sleeping listening to the sound of the waves. Even if it's cold, you'll have the place to yourself in July.
For me the coastal road from Antofagasta (Iquique - Arica - Tacna - Arequipa) all the way to Nazca was amazing. I guess though you can't do both Bolivia and the coastal road so you'll have to take your pick. For me the answer is obvious, but I wasn't bothered about missing the Salar.
Enjoy!
