From Tupiza to Uyuni Salar - photos 2





From Tupiza to Uyuni Salar:
- Visit of the "Aguas calientes" or "hot water" in a beautiful landscape,
- Lee is having a bath in the hot water whose temperature was around 28-30C. I joined him for 10min and that was lush!!!
- The "Desierto de Dali" or Dali's desert which presents similar landscapes as the ones found in Dali's paintings. The name of this desert is a homage to Salvador Dali,
- La "Laguna Verde" or green lagoon whose colour is coming from the presence of a high content of arsenic and magnesium,
- Geysers are found in the geothermic land called "Sol de Manana" at an altitude of 5000m. Very impressive but with the smell of sulfur dioxide (or rotten eggs)!!!
