Stop At: Train Cemetery, Uyuni Bolivia

This place shelters dozens of old locomotives and wagons from the year 1890.

The remains of the trains take us on an imaginary journey towards a time of flourishing progress, today transformed into a rustic deserted courtyard ideal for the romantic traveler who likes to photograph traces of a not so distant past.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Colchani Handicraft Market, Colchani, Bolivia

You will see how locals manually dry and pack the salt extracted from the salt flat.

Stop At: Salar de Uyuni, Uyuni Bolivia

At the entrance of the Salar you will see the Eyes of the Salar which are small streams of water that flow from the interior of the earth under the salt. It is said that this water has healing properties due to its saline and acidic contents.

In the dry season, the surface of the Salar de Uyuni has near geometric shapes formed by the salt particles agglomerated in polygons. In the rainy season (December, January, February and part of March) the Salar is covered with water and resembles a giant mirror.

Duration: 7 hours

Stop At: Dakar Monument, Bolivia

During our journey we will observe the Statue of Salt erected to mark the passing of the Dakar Rally in Bolivia. Then we will walk to the old Hotel de Sal Playa Blanca. Next to the Hotel there is a small mound with several flags from around the world. These symbolic flags have been left by travelers visiting Salar de Uyuni. We invite you to carry a flag of your country and leave it at this significant point in the Salar de Uyuni.
