Salty
Day 1 of our Bolivian salt flat trip. People have said this is has been the highlight of their whole South American trips, so we should be in for a treat.
We got our four day trip from Tupiza, slightly bucking the trend to start from Uyuni. We started here because 1. Apparently you see more varied things starting from Tupiza and 2. We have had our first change of plans and are now going to cross over into Argentina and go overland to Chile. The trip is a huge 1200Km so not for the faint hearted but Tupiza is just 3 hours from the border. We’ve cancelled our La Paz-Santiago flight and are now really looking forward to our trip down the wine growing region of Argentina. Sorry Eial, Pablo and co, we’re still not able to go near Buenes Aires. No time!
Off on our trip, this appeared to be the park entrance ticket office
and straight away, the scenery definitely didn’t disappoint
I’m writing this in a tiny Andean village, so photogenic it’s ridiculous. Today we were mostly travelling into the salt flat area so no salt yet, but we’re optimistic, having booked ourselves into the Salt Hotel on the 3rd night!
