Four days in a Land Cruiser crammed in with 6 other people, 4:30am wake ups, nearly freezing conditions and a lack of showering was all rather painful. However, I got to see some really spectacular scenery. Check out the south west corner of Bolivia. 
Laguna Colorada is the place for flamingoes. The water is red with minerals.
Flamingoes bathing themselves.
Uyuni is home to the world's largest salt flat. As it is the end of the rainy season, the flat is flooded. As a result, I stare at the world's largest mirror. While the flat is underwater chemical reactions are possible and more salt is constantly being made. The flat is dotted with holes like the one below. Newly formed salt crystals bubble up from below. 
Miners work in the field to collect the salt.
