Full Day at the Salar de Uyuni
Depart from Uyuni towards the Train Cemetery, located about 10 minutes from the city of Uyuni. Colchani is a small town that serves as the gateway to the salt flats, where the locals extract salt manually. You can also purchase hand-carved salt handicrafts. The Salar de Uyuni covers an area of approximately 10,582 km².
The salt crust has an average thickness of 6 to 10 meters, making it the largest salt layer in the world. It is estimated to contain around 10 billion tons of salt, or sodium chloride, lithium, boron, magnesium, potassium, strontium, and other minerals.
- Salt pyramids are mounds of salt where workers remove the outer layer and pile it up, exposing it to the sun to dehydrate. This salt is then transported to the town of Colchani to be processed and sold.
- Salt Hotel: The first hotel built with salt bricks, it is located within the salt flats and functions only as a museum. Visitors can walk around and take photographs inside.
- Salt Eyes: These are extreme openings where cold saltwater emerges. There are salt eyes of different sizes, and they are said to have healing properties for rheumatic ailments.
- Incahuasi Island: A tourist attraction of extraordinary beauty, it is home to a number of giant cacti that can reach up to 12 meters in height.
Before returning to Uyuni, you can observe the reflection of the sky in the salt flats, commonly known as the world's largest mirror. These impressive scenes can be appreciated where there is a higher concentration of water, a place very popular with tourists because it allows for extraordinary photographs of the sunset and the reflections of the sky on the salt flats.
