Salar de Uyuni (Salt Flats)
13th April 2010
… continuing on our excursion with Tupiza Tours.
.
On the edge of the salt flats, we spent a night in a hotel made entirely of salt – salt brick walls, salt floor as well as salt beds, tables and chairs.
.
Our final day began as the sun rose over the largest salt flats in the world, El Salar de Uyuni (10.5 square kilometres) at 3700 metres.
.
In the middle is La Isla del Pescado (Fish Island), a coral island covered in Cardon cactus.
.
We spent some time composing tricky camera shots on the salt surface before ending our excursion at Uyuni with its train cemetry where all Bolivian trains go when they die.
