The second day of our tour was dominated by lagoons of colours as varied as white, blue and red. Our day ended with a visit to the
Laguna Colorodes, the red lagoon. The algae in the water here gave the lagoon its red colour - which the Andean and the Chilean flamingoes we saw preferred.

El salar de Uyuni, a veces conocido como salar de Tunupa, es el mayor desierto de sal continuo y alto del mundo, con una superficie de 10 582 km² (4085,7 millas cuadradas).
Debido a su gran tamaño, el alto porcentaje de superficie lisa y la alta reflectividad, cuando la cubierta de agua que lo cubre durante una época del año baja, la superficie del salar de Uyuni funciona hasta cinco veces mejor para la calibración de satélites que la utilización de la superficie del océano.
Existen aproximadamente once capas de sal, con espesores que varían entre menos de un metro y diez metros. La costra que se encuentra en la superficie tiene un espesor de diez metros. La profundidad del salar es de 120 metros, el cual está compuesto de capas de salmuera superpuestas y barro lacustre.Esta salmuera se compone de litio, boro (bórax), potasio, magnesio, carbonatos y sulfatos de sodio.

Pueblo Fanstasmo translates to ghost town. This once flourishing mining town is now deserted. Decades ago, every single resident of this village died. It was the first afternoon of our Salar de Uyuni tour and we had gained almost 1000 meters in altitude. Everyone was feeling the effect of high altitude walking through this ghost town.
**ENGLISH**
Uyuni primarily serves as a gateway for tourists visiting the world's largest salt flats, the nearby Uyuni salt flat. Each year the city receives approximately 60,000[citation needed] visitors from around the globe. The city also acts as a gateway for commerce and traffic crossing into and out of Bolivia from and to Chile, and there is a customs and immigration post downtown. Agriculture in the area is generally limited to quinoa, llamas, and sheep.
Founded in 1890 as a trading post, the city has a population of 29,672 (2012 official census). The town has an extensive street-market. It lies at the edge of an extensive plain at an elevation of 3,700 m (12,139 ft) above sea level, with more mountainous country to the east.
**NEDERLANDS**
Salar de Uyuni is met een oppervlakte van 10.582 km2 de grootste zoutvlakte van de wereld. Het bevindt zich in het departement Potosí, in het zuidwesten van Bolivia op een hoogte van 3650 meter op het Hoogland van Bolivia, in de Andes nabij de stad Uyuni.
Ongeveer 40.000 jaar geleden was deze vlakte een deel van het Minchinmeer, een reusachtig prehistorisch meer. Toen het meer opdroogde, bleven twee meren over (Poopomeer en Uru Urumeer), en twee grote zoutvlakten (Salar de Uyuni en Salar de Coipasa

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. We spent the night close to the salar to get there very early in the morning to be able to walk and take pictures before sunrise. The landscape and the light were even more incredible that I had imagined.
Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers. It is located in the Potosi and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes, and is elevated 3,656 meters above the mean sea level.

Salt hotel “Playa Blanca” and Island of the Flags is a must stop on all tours and when traveling to the Uyuni Salt Flats.
Nowadays the hotel is disabled due to the lack of water treatment, but it works as a museum.
Next to the hotel is an island formed by hundreds of flags of different countries of the world. The truth has no historical value, it is just a very cute and photogenic place. Find your flag!*

At the end of the three day 4WD tour that goes across the Salar de Uyuni, then up volcanic valleys with flamingo lakes, you end up at the Chile border. From there it's a one hour bus to San Pedro de Atacama.
I decided not to go on to Chile, but do the seven or so hours back to Uyuni, so see a lot of it all again...
