Salar de Uyuni
Tuesday
Sara, Meg, and I got on the bus to Oruro, a sad miner’s town that I have visited earlier in the summer (3 hours south of La Paz) to take a train to the department of Potosi to the small town of Uyuni where the Salar (large salt field) is. The train ride was rather comfortable even though it was 7 hours long. We saw the magnificent Andes mountains and the flora of the altiplano and also got a chance to see Lake Poopo, the second largest lake in Bolivia. Upon arrival to Uyuni, we went to our hotel, which was right across the train station and went straight to bed. It was rather cold in this town as it is located in one of the coldest areas in Bolivia, so we had to get into our sleeping bags underneath the bed covers. (the pictures are of the altiplano at dusk (above) and of Lake Poopo (below).
