We took an amazing tour of the salt flats, geysers, hot springs, mountains, desert, flamingo lagoons in a three day tour in a '95 Land Cruiser with a couple of Italians, a Brazilian, Chilean and Argentinean (who all loved reggae and singing songs in the car...which drove us crazy)...which I am surprised that we made it out of that car ride alive with the way the Bolivian guide would drive!
Abandoned train that used to carry salt and other exports to Uyuni, Bolivia.
Before stepping onto the salt flat we were taken to a village where each building and even the furniture was made out of salt blocks.
The salt got to this truck.
Tours of Land Cruisers were everywhere - this one was leaving the flats.
Walking on the salt flat with about 2" of warm water covering the entire flat.
One of the many flamingo lagoons we saw during the tour. I had never seen flamingos in the wild and were surprised to see them flourish in such cold weather.
Desert rocks.
Mike and I looking at one of the flamingo lagoons...it was freezing!
Geysers at 4 am.
