This is the awesome train graveyard on the edge of the biggest salt flats in the world!
Today we boarded our bus to Uyuni which is thankfully the last bus we have to catch in this country. It seems we cannot take a bus in Bolivia without some sort of drama or annoyance. Today was no different as the bus company decided to cancel our bus and put everyone on another bus without telling us and resulting in us having to run several blocks to catch our bus which isn’t all that fun at about 4000 meters above sea level. The arsehole bus driver tried to have a go at us for delaying the bus when we boarded even though it was 100 percent not our fault. The bus ride again took a few hours longer than expected once again and we arrived into Uyuni in the mid afternoon.
After booking in our 3 day tour of the Uyuni salt flats with Red Planet Tours we bought a few supplies and then headed out to this massive train graveyard on the edge of town for the sunset. The graveyard is scattered with old rusted train parts, hundreds of rusted and crumpled carriages and old locamotives. Some of the train ruins have been used as canvases for street artists and a couple have also been turned into swings. We walked back into town in the dark and had to sneak past packs of hungry packs of dogs, but we were ok because I fashioned my gorillapod into a machine gun shape to protect us.
