El Salar de Uyuni


Crossing from Chile into Bolivia is an incredible 3-day trip crossing the Andes, the Atacama desert and finally the Uyuni salar. The landscapes are unbelievable, possibly the best sceneries I have ever seen
Here are a few of the many shots I took

The border

The lagoons just past the border

The salar

A salt plane of over 12,000 square kilometers (!!!), the Uyuni salar is one of the world's wonders. In January and February, the salar is completely flooded with rain water, creating a unique and incredible effect. Can you tell where the horizon is?
