Solar de Uyuni, Bolivia - Day 3

We had to wake up at 4 am this morning to see the sun rise. I wasn’t entirely excited about waking up that early, especially since we were sleeping at 4000 meters and it wasn’t exactly restful recuperative sleep. I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of sunrises is this one really going to be worth waking up at 4am? Wow. This was one of the most spectacular sites so far. The sun rising over a crystal clear lake of white salt; reflecting and shimmering off of the pools of water on the salt made for a magnificent site with a color spectrum that ran the gamut.

Today was the most jam packed of the 3 days, and we were to be done by 2ish. After watching the sunrise, we drove to a massive salt flat. We were driving on the salt flat for about an hour and did not get across it. In the middle of the salt flat was a small hill full of cactus which we explored for a bit. Then we made some funny photos on the salt flats all before having our breakfast.

After we finished breakfast, we visited a hotel made entirely out of salt blocks and a train museum that was more of a graveyard where they sent trains to die.
