Uyuni

We got there : UYUNI

One city very far from Brussels and Slovakia 4 flights needed to get here.

After 3 days on Titicaca lake among which one night on Sun island, we passed by La Paz to fly to Uyuni.

Like in many other cities and towns in Peru and Bolivia, there is a big kid’s playground in Uyuni, too.

Getting to the main goal of the journey to Uyuni : the Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat.

More than 10.000 km², like 1/3 of Belgium or a bit more than 1/5 of Slovakia!

It contains 50 to 70% of the world’s lithium reserves!

If you go there, do not forget to bring a Slovak flag. It is not there, yet.

Incahuasi island in the center of the flat.

Impressive to see 60-70 km or more far on all sides.

Impressive, too, to see the +/- 6000 cactuses that are on the island.
