Uyuni & Salar de Uyuni

One of Bolivias main attractions is definitely the Salar de Uyuni, the biggest and highest salt flats on earth. Most people do several day tours to the salar and other places (and I did that too) but before Nico and I tried to enter the salt flats on our own. After taking a tour bus for 5 bolivianos (not even 1€) that dropped us of in a town near the salt flats, we walked around 1-1,5h until arriving to the salar. The salar doesn’t have any entry fee but tbh without a car you can’t really go far since in this season there is a lot of water on the surface. Still we could get some nice views! The next day I then started a 3 days/2 nights tour and went with a group of 6 people and our guide. The tour was pretty impressive and we’ve not only seen the salar but also several lagoons, some of them coloured and with flamingos (!!!), active volcanos, geysers and we drove through several deserts. I really liked our group consisting of two Brazilians, two Colombians, a French/German/Japanese woman, our Bolivian guide and me:) For me the tour then ended crossing the border to Chile and driving to a town called San Pedro de Atacama in the Atacama desert since from the last stop of the tour you’re right next to the border.Okumaya devam et
