Salar de Uyuni is the second largest salt flat in the world. A huge no man's land where you can drive for miles without encountering any vegetation or living creature. This used to be a huge salt sea, nowadays tons of salt is extracted every year. You can search the bottom by jeep for special sights.
Taking pictures on the salt flats

Colchani is the start of the trail. Best is to book a 4x4jeep and driver in Uyuni (including food for several days)

Salar de Uyuni is the well-known tourist attraction of Bolivia and from the city of Uyuni you can easily arrange an excursion to this special area. With a jeep you cross the endless white plains to stop somewhere on a deserted stretch for the most memorable part of the whole trip: taking the pictures. The vastness of the landscape allows you to play with the point of view and create an extraordinary photo collection where the perspective is manipulated. Make weird jumps, stand on each other's heads or come up with something creative with the reflection of the salt. The real fanatics have collected some attributes before departure to make the photos even more exciting.
