I have never faced infinity as when standing in the middle of the uyuni salt flat. hundred of kilmeters of just nothing but white, plain, rocky arid salt for your view. the marks of pasts water and islands of rock and extremely high cactus are the only thing you can distinguish. Arriving there was not easy also.
Coming from Chile, we crossed the border at 4.280 meters high, and chewing on coca leaves is the only thing you can do for mountain sickness. marks of water The trip took an amazing 3 days during the ones we almost saw no people and only a few species of animals can survive in this arid mountain top desert. Flamingos are one of them. The journey across the Andes in a rented jeep was amazing, our last night we spent it in a salt hotel, viewing our de
stination just in front of us, the salt flats. At first glance driving through such a plain terrain seems an easy task but its just hard not to get dizzy from the brightness and boredom of seeing everything the same.
