Uyuni & South-Western Circuit

The town of Uyuni is an outpost in the seemingly hostile south western desert. Cold dry winds blow through the chessboard streets, and the incredibly azur sky seems to be much closer to earth here. (More fotos )







From here, we start on a three-day expedition through the largely uninhabited southwest. Starting with the worlds largest salt lake, we climb altitudes of more than 4400m and creep our way through a moonlike landscape that would seem like a painting if it were not for the ice-cold winds.

The definite star of this expedition








Island Vista




One of many rocks to be seen here


A toxic but beautiful lagoon


Just one of many breakdowns
