Bolivia - Salt Lakes

Salar de Uyuni

World's largest salt flats. Geysers, flamingos, poisonous lakes and satellite calibration. 14 hours' bus ride from La Paz.


Potosi - Cerro Rico

Founded 1546, main source of silver for Spanish Empire.Convents and churches galore, and of course the old Spanish mint. The mines are all coops and are still in full swing.
