Uyuni, Bolivia - Desert Crossing

A Trip of Superlatives
We took a 45 minute flight from La Paz to Uyuni,  a small town in south-central Bolivia known for salt.  We signed up for a three day, two night desert tour.

Uyuni's located at the edge of the largest salt flat on earth, 4,000 square miles of bright, white salt, 12,000 feet above sea level.  We'll be crossing the salt flat, then turning south through high desert, ultimately ending at the driest place on earth, the Atacama desert in Chile.


I took this photo in the tour guide's office.  It shows some of the highlights.
