Overview of Uyuni
Of course, is the home of the most extensive salt flats in the world. You can fly from La Paz, but this is generally expensive. Many people head South to Sucre and Potosi on the way to Uyuni, to break up the journey or others prefer the "lavadora" night bus, meaning the "washing machine", due to the dramatic bounciness of the journey and the road that will take you there! The Salt flats resemble being on the surface of the moon in dry season and gigantic mirrors in the wet season.
