Salar de Uyuni Tour – Bolivia
Arriving in Uyuni After Machu Picchu, the Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flats) experience was what I had been looking forward to the most on this trip. We had heard great things about the tours across the largest salt flats in the world, but not so much about the operators. It is something that all …
