Uyuni Salt Flats to Salt Hotel

Train Cemetery - The Uyuni Train Cemetery is one of Bolivia’s most unique and captivating tourist attractions. Situated on the outskirts of the small town of Uyuni.

The Train Cemetery dates back to the golden age of Bolivian railroads in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, Bolivia experienced an economic boom driven by the export of minerals like tin and silver. Railroads played a crucial role in transporting these resources from the country’s interior mines to seaports on the Pacific coast. Due to its strategic location, Uyuni became a significant railway hub.

However, as the Bolivian mining industry began to decline, the railway infrastructure became obsolete. Trains and locomotives that once powered commerce and industry were abandoned in the desert, giving birth to the Uyuni Train Cemetery.

Salar de Uyuni - The Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt desert, is a natural marvel in Bolivia that offers a one-of-a-kind experience. During the tour, visitors will explore the “Ojos de Agua,” geothermal formations where underground water bubbles to the surface, and Playa Blanca, the world’s first salt hotel, now a museum filled with salt sculptures. Nearby is the Monument of Flags, surrounded by emblems of various countries, symbolizing global connection and providing an ideal photo opportunity. Perspective photo shoots are popular here, allowing for fun images that play with distance and size. The day concludes with a spectacular sunset, where the sky reflects in the salt like a mirror, accompanied by a glass of Bolivian wine. The night is spent at the salt hotel, ensuring an unforgettable stay.

After this visit, the journey continues across the desert, showcasing a series of volcanic lagoons with distinct characteristics.

Siloli Desert - The Siloli Desert, located in southwestern Bolivia, is a spectacular desert area renowned for its unique rock formations and arid landscape. Part of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, this desert sits over 4,000 meters above sea level. One of its most iconic formations is the Stone Tree, an eroded rock resembling a petrified tree.

At over 4,800 meters above sea level, this geothermal field offers a surreal view with fumaroles, boiling mud pits, and craters emitting steam and sulfuric gases. The area, with intense volcanic activity, is especially striking at dawn when the first light of day enhances the contrast between the white vapor and the reddish soil. Visiting Sol de Mañana is a unique experience, allowing visitors to closely observe the power and beauty of geothermal activity at its peak.

Laguna Colorada - Laguna Colorada, located in the department of Potosí, Bolivia, is a stunning saline lake known for its red-hued waters. Situated 4,278 meters above sea level in the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, its distinctive color is due to the sediments and pigments of algae thriving in its waters. This lake is a crucial habitat for thousands of Andean flamingos, adding a breathtaking contrast to the landscape. The combination of colors, along with the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, makes Laguna Colorada a must-visit destination for nature and photography enthusiasts.

Located at an altitude of approximately 4,300 meters above sea level, this lagoon is situated in the Bolivian highlands, near the border with Chile.
