Uyuni Travel Blogs

To travel and know Uyuni and their surroundings is just to differentiate between two points, first the trip to Uyuni in this case from La Paz and second the tour to know Uyuni and the surrounding area, mainly the Salt Flat, The Geysers, Red Lagoon and Green Lagoon. First to get to Uyuni from La P…

BUS JOURNEY Well the bus was an hour late but we are getting used to that now, as it seems to be the norm for them to run late. I was fiercly guarding our bags when Bend went to the toilet as I saw some guy come up and steal a hat off of someones head! At first I thought it was his mate but no, he…

So after some memorable times in Potosi I headed off to Uyuni a jumping point for the famous Bolivian salt flat tour! Sadly the clan wasnt all there and three off the lads took off to Iquique for warmer weather and waves but i wasnt going to miss out on seeing my favourite bird in the wild the pink…

Got up at 6:30, had cold pancakes and left by 8 am.  There is such pride in peoples vehicles here in south america.  Rudy was out washing the land cruiser, as were the other guides, this morning.  Even if cars are lacking paint, as many were in N. Argentina, people scrub their cars a…

I am a little behind in my blog entries so I am going to write a few short ones to catch up.  Uyuni is a quiet town that is only on the travelers map because of its close proximity to the famous Bolivian salt flats.  The pizza in the hotel was the best yet in South America. Almost …

the moment i saw the first picture from the salar de uyuni, the huge salt lakes near uyuni in bolivia, i knew i will like itbut standing there in real life was one of the most impressive moments ever... but let's start in uyuniwe were picked up by our 4wd-vans early in the morning for a 4-day journ…

Salar Uyuni is probably the most spectacular place I have ever been to. Cruising at a hundred kilometres per hour on this huge salt pan, with absolutely no other vehicle around is a unique experience. On a 110km trip on the pan we only saw one or two vehicles! The Isla del Pescado o…

Arrived at the tour agent on time, about 10 jeeps where all lined up on the side of the road waiting to load up. When they called out our names for the jeeps i wasnt with Barbara and the other 3. I was put with the La Paz people who she assured me whçould be here at 9am, it was 8.50am and the jeep…

I had the coldest night of my whole life, though I'm from a cold country. I'll never forget this adventure.

The Salt flats and Desert landscapes between southern Bolivia and Chile are like nothing we've seen so far. We joined up with and Danish guy  and an Irish/Italian couple from the Potosi mining tour, and a German dude to hit the salt flats for 3 days. The sc…

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

What a magical and surreal experience! So glad we decided to come back to Bolivia for this final adventure at the world's largest salt flats, El Salar de Uyuni!! What you have here is truly spectacular . . . imagine 12000 sq km of blindingly white salt flats, interrupted only by small, cacti-covere…

We,ve just got back from one of the most amazing days we,ve had whilst we,ve been away, it,s been incredible !!!!! Plus someone,s nicked the bloody apostrophe again while we were out !!!! We arrived in Uyuni after what can only be described as the worst bus journey in the world. We left La Quiaca …

... can be found in the salar trip that goes from Uyuni, Bolivia to the Chilean border. Everyone in Uyuni is only there to do one of these trips, some that loop back to Uyuni or go to Tupiza or cross over to San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. People say Uyuni is a hole, but I thought it had a certain c…

Uyuni is gringo town! We only stayed one night here after our tour dropped us off. I feel ill on the tour with fever so we literally bunked down as soon as we reached our hotel. We stayed in a hotel called Hotel Avenida, again there are limited hostels in this part of Bolivia.The hotel was ok but v…
