Salt flats of Bolivia
I arrived in Uyuni after a very long 11 hour night bus from La Paz. Myself and some friends from La Paz found a tour company to take us out on the three day tour that day. The first day is spent on the salt flats, which are unreal! All you can see is white for miles and miles. We spent most of the day taking stupid pictures on the salt. Our first night was spent in the salt hotel....a hotel made of salt. The walls, the floors, the beds, the tables, the chairs....It was actually very comfortable. The second day was a lot of driving on Bolivian ´roads´. More like salt, sand or rock paths. We went to many different amazing lakes. Most of which had flamingos...unfortunately, they were a bit camera shy. The coolest lake was the red one. The color actually changes with the wind! The second night was spent in a crappy little hostel in the middle of nowhere, about 4200 meters altitidue and really cold...below zero temps! The whole group slept in almost all our clothes, hats and scarves! Not as comfortable as the salt hotel! The third day was spent at the geysers and hotsprings. We got dropped off at the Chilean border and headed to San Pedro de la Atacama, which is the driest desert in the world.
