Day 41 - Somewhere in Bolivia to Salar de Uyuni




Today, the moment we had all been waiting for, the Salares de Uyuni, the world´s largest salt flat. After spending the last five weeks visiting places famous for what they have, it was different to visit a place for what it doesn´t have. The salt flats are just an endless expanse of whiteness. We took advantage of this two-dimensional landscape to take some very interesting photos. What can I say? We were really hungry =)

We also visited a hotel made completely out of salt, beds and all, and the train cemetary, where it looks like trains stopped in their tracks in the middles of the desert and began to rust.

If any of you are interested in seeing more pictures than the ones I have posted, please email me. I have a lot of really great photos, but not enough time or space to put them all on the blog.
