UYUNI, BOLIVIA
Located ten hours south of La Paz on ground, Uyuni in the Bolivian Southwest must be the playground of the Gods. How else to describe its other-worldly landscapes? From the surreal, mirror-like Uyuni salt flats, the largest in the world (and where the amazing fight scene in The Last Jedi was filmed) to the blood-red waters of Laguna Colorada where pink flamingoes nest, to Laguna Verde’s near perfect mirror of shimmering green to the unusual rock formations of the Siloli Desert, Uyuni’s topography is distinctly diverse. A train cemetery and a desert named for Salvador Dali completes the surreal, alien experience. Hotels surrounding the Salar de Uyuni are no less exceptional with some made entirely of salt, furniture and all! There’s much ground to cover with a trip typically taking up to three days.
