Our first major tourist visit was the Salt Flats of Unuyi.<\/p>\n<p>We booked a room at the Bunker Hostel, who arranged the tour for us. There is the one day and three day tour, but we recommend doing the full three day tour. We thought about renting a motorbike and doing the tour ourselves to save money, but in hindsight would recommend not, as the below video shows. Most of the way the roads have eroded over time and our own driver zigzagged the various possibilities, seemingly with a foreknowledge of which way was the least bumpy. Besides, there can be very long, dusty stretches between the stops, which as a passenger in a van you can utilise with a comfortable nap. When you can no longer sleep it is interesting to watch the landscape, reminiscing of the moon in want of mining. The mountain ranges are often rainbow coloured with the various minerals, there are no trees, but the desert floor is sprinkled with spots of shrubs nibbled on by the free roaming Llamas.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-U7LOd_3ybM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>For the full three day tour, I&#8217;d say it is well worth it at 700b (about a hundred bucks), but here are some tips worth mentioning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On top of the regular tour price, there is also a mandatory entrance fee into the national park of 150b, then an additional 30b fee to enter cactus island (optional).<\/li>\n<li>Depending on the time of year, it can get rather cold at night, where the atmosphere is thin at that elevation. After dinner we ran to the warmth of our bed, so we missed some quality social time with the other guests.<\/li>\n<li>No gas stations along the way. Our guide had a stock on top of his fourxfour.

Not many stores, so bring a big jug of water.<\/li>\n<li>None of the places had any toilet paper!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is a summary video of our visit to the flats.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bs_GIRKicjY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>Following is the flier from the hotel we were staying at of the three day tour.

The potential of the silver mines of Huanchaca led to that the railroad track formed a main pillar for the industrial development and establishment of some villages, though the trains left Uyuni full with silver and in exchange there came more and more people of other places and countries with the unique intention to get something of the wealth and they didn&#8217;t care about the preservation of the railroad line. And it happened how it seems to be often the people who profit had been only interested in being there until it was worth and profitable. After the people left the country the maintenance of the trains, which has been the proud and livelihood of the natives, regrettably has been ignored.

These rock formations are being formed constantly by the wind. There are rocks, which have the form for example of a lion, the face of a Inca or also of a monkey. The valley is located at a height of 3.900 meter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41\" src=\"https:\/\/islandhoppinginthephilippines.com\/world\/bolivia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bolivia-rocks-in-desert-4.jpg\" alt=\"bolivia-rocks-in-desert-4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandhoppinginthephilippines.com\/world\/bolivia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bolivia-rocks-in-desert-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/islandhoppinginthephilippines.com\/world\/bolivia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bolivia-rocks-in-desert-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/islandhoppinginthephilippines.com\/world\/bolivia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/bolivia-rocks-in-desert-4-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Ca\u00f1on de Anaconda (anaconda canyon)<\/h4>\n<p>Iglesia San Crist\u00f3bal (San Cristobal church)<\/p>\n<p>The San Crist\u00f3bal church is in the community Colchani in the province Nor L\u00edpey, located at a height of 3.775 meter. The church was relocated stone by stone, like the original village San Crist\u00f3bal, to the new place where you can find it now. The cause of the relocation were the advanced mining operations on the original place. After finding a not unproblematic agreement they decided with the support of experts the relocation of the whole church.<\/p>\n<h2>Some more pics<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
