Salt Flats of Uyuni

   This was another place on my bucket list that I've happily ticked off, the salt flats in Bolivia. I took a 3 day tour to take it all in starting in San Pedro de Atacama and ending in Uyuni. The 3 days were spent in a jeep off-roading through colourful lakes with llamas, steaming geysers bubbling mud, and rock formations and mountains that look out of this world. It was really a sight to see with nature at its finest glory.

   Of course the highlight was the salt flat near Uyuni, which is the biggest in the world. We were there for sun rise which made it even more spectacular. As the sun rose everything doubled by the reflection of the salt. Flamingoes were flying over top and cloud formations looked heavenly. We then had breakfast at the salt hotel, which as the name suggests is made entirely out of salt including the chairs and tables.

   After gaining some energy it was time to play. I couldn't leave with at least a dozen cool pictures! I then proceeded to having kung fu fights with a dinosaur, cuddling a monkey, making human formations, and conquering mountains. What a great start to Bolivia, I'm sure it has plenty more to offer!
