the grand finale of our tour was the famous
salar de uyuni salt flat! we stayed in a "salt hotel" - definitely not hotel status, just a shelter made almost entirely of SALT!
i licked the walls just to make sure.
our shelter, with large stones to keep the roof on:
i woke up nice and early to watch the sunrise over the salar, so worth it!
 |
| hello sun! |
 |
| this is when it became ridiculously bright. there was a thin layer of water over part of the salar, which the sun was reflecting off of. essentially, there were 2 suns! |
 |
| blinding |
after packing and loading up into the jeeps once again, we headed out onto the salt flat!
the first part of our journey we were driving over water. parts of the salar weren't completely dry, which created incredible reflections of the sky. seeing this in person was pretty unbelievable
i had to take pictures of the other jeeps driving through the water to see what we looked like
i also took a video:
eventually we made it to solid ground!
and then we spent the next few hours trying to take advantage of the crazy loss of perspective in this vast white territory and take cool pictures. this was harder than it sounds
lining up...

salt museum, literally in the middle of the salar.
it took about 40 minutes driving over the salt to get here |
 |
| lunch time! |
with all this wide open space, i couldn't help but jump around a bit
and when it came to our photoshoot, we had a few successes...
 |
| walking on the bridge (that's me upside down) |
 |
| about to be eaten by justin |
 |
| me eating justin. revenge! |
 |
| and then i decided to check out the inside of brian's mouth |
oh my god, Brian eating you! I died
