Uyuni Go on the salar to see the desert, they were also some water on it, don’t forget to bring some boots
1+We woke up at 5 in am to see the sunrise above the salar. It was impressive because with the water we were not able to see the end of the salar, and also it was doing like a miror.
As a traveler who recently visited Uyuni, I must say that the experience was nothing short of incredible. From the moment I arrived in town, I was struck by the vibrant culture and beautiful surroundings.
The highlight of my trip was undoubtedly the Salar de Uyuni salt flats. Walking on the seemingly endless white expanse was a surreal experience, and I had a blast taking perspective photos and exploring the nearby Incahuasi Island. The stunning views of the sunset over the salt flats were breathtaking.

The people of Uyuni were friendly and welcoming, and I loved exploring the town's colorful buildings and bustling market. I even had the chance to taste some delicious local cuisine, such as llama meat and quinoa soup.
Overall, my experience in Uyuni was unforgettable, and I highly recommend it to any traveler who loves adventure, nature, and culture.
