Then we enter the Salar of Uyuni, the salt lake more 'largest in the world with over 12,000 sq km: Because of recent rains have not managed to visit all and therefore we can not see the forest of giant cacti, but thanks to water the landscape and 'even more' beautiful. In fact, the abundant rains, the salt crust, up to 8 meters high. Does not allow the soil to absorb, make that a landscape already 'extraordinary normally becomes unique.

proceed with the off-road "on water" for about an hour, guided only by the volcanoes in the background, since the horizon and 'disappeared!, and the lake reflects the low clouds (we are more than 3500 mt.) arrive at the hotel's rooms, made entirely with salt blocks, and where we go down, levandoci shoes and pulling up his pants, started a bit 'of pictures to remember this unique experience.

The three days ended in the afternoon to the town of Uyuni i, where we have the first impact with Bolivia: now you see poverty 'and a lot of dirt people, especially children from all parties in the neck to the mothers who bear them covered with beautifully colored behind his back, even when they work and maybe give you the rest while nursing or while you prepare the sandwich.

Let's walk through the village, quite insignificant, we do stock market of coca leaves to combat the rise, and before taking the bus to Potosi ', arriving late at night, we meet three young people Roman sympathetic with which we exchange a bit 'of information and emotions, they also come from the Salar and into his eyes we all still images that can not be described. Tomorrow, they too will come to Potosi' then we say goodbye with an "if beccamo ".
