It is the kind a place where everybody should see before they die...amazing, surreal desert of salt where the blue of the sky and the white of the salt makes you feel in a different planet. We got lucky we had a beautiful sunny day, we had lunch in a cactus island in the middle of the salar. Rarely life gets better than that.
We have a three days tour with an overnight stay in a hotel made of salt and the second night made of desert rock. The view from both hotels in the middle of nowhere is breathtaking. We explore deserts, caves, geysers and lagoons. The red lagoon (litterally tomato sauce red) being the most amazing and the green having the greatets surronding with volcano on the back. Bolivia amazes me by its beauty, the richness of the land and in a way the fact that people knows that all that wealth goes really in a hand of few or abroad. We see the train that crosses the desert 3 times a week to reach Chile...a train only of minerals. Half jockingly they say that the only thing Bolivians make is baby!!!
