Bolivian Wonders
Uyuni by all accounts is the middle of nowhere, Bolivia. Created as solely a railroad junction Uyuni was mostly ignored until the discovery of the Salar. The reason why travelers have posted this small Bolivian town as a necessary stop is because of the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flats in the world. Travelers can get to the salt flats from Potosi by bus but many routes are availble to reach the twelve thousand square kilometers of flats. Tour groups take visitors into the heart of the salt flats to catch the entire beauty. Travelers can choose to take a day tour into the flats or spend up to four days wondering around and exploring the salt flats’ natural beauty. It’s also worth it to explore further south as to catch a bit of the lagoons and gysers near the Chilean border. Not only are the salt flats amazing, but there is plenty more to do in the small town. Train graveyards are a curious wonder for tourists.
