Tupiza to Uyuni: Salt Flat Tour

I got up early to pick up some extra water and snacks. I also wanted to write to my family that I was leaving, but there was no internet!

I did the tour with Torre Tours and I wouldn't recommend them! I overpaid that tour and I even feel robbed! Please, choose another company!

As we are about to leave, they inform me that there is one more person in our car, despite the fact that we had agreed on 4 in total. 

Then after taking forever to leave, our driver tells us we don't have a cook, despite the fact that we paid for it... Then tried to sneak in a "cook".

Our main group was: 

German couple. 

German Father & Daughter

Other car: 

French couple.

Macedonian guy and angry Dutch woman.

+their "English" guide.

We saw a lot of impressive landscapes! We were up at 4500m at first, then we reached 5200m, when we visited the Geisers.

My favorite part was my dream come true: seeing flamingos in the wild. (That's right, not in a cage or on a leash at a resort!) I had originally missed my opportunity north of Mexico...

On the "Red Lagoon" is where we saw a lot of them. They were "James flamingo". They are absolutely gorgeous! 

We also saw a lot of them at another lagoon. 

(My very impressive flamingo imitation!)

My second favorite place was the Geysers "Sol de Mañana" which we saw at 5200m! It was incredibly fascinating to see it bubbling and the steam it realesed. It was awesome to feel the earth'a heat.

My third favorite place was obviously the Uyuni salt flat. Because we are in the end of dry season, they aren't as white or shinny, but they sure are huge and salty! 

It blew my mind! 

In the middle there's a famous island we climbed and it had huge cactuses. 

There was also 3 llamas. Which now, have also become one of my favorite animals... They have a real funny expression on their faces and are kind of awkward, especially when they run... Lol, but incredibly cute! Especially with their earrings which are markings by the owner because they are everywhere around the country...

I tried some coca beer too...
