The Bolivian Desert Crossing

If last night’s teaser was any indication of what is in-store for the next few days, I can’t wait. We will be travelling by 4 x 4 vehicles for the next two days through the spectacular Salar de Uyuni for what I am calling the Bolivian Desert Crossing. Bye bye wifi! Before departing the isolated town of Uyuni we visited the train cemetary where there are over 100 trains that are exceptionally worn down due to the mixture of salt and strong winds. Most of the trains date back to the early 20th century and were imported from Britain. Uyuni was originally destined to become a major train destination connecting a variety of cities but plans never came to fruition. Our next stop was Colchani and then onwards into the Bolivian Andes where we saw many llamas and alpacas.Les mer
