About Uyuni
Uyuni is a small town in the middle of nowhere. It originally blossomed as a transportation junction and then as a railroad hub, and though this is still an important aspect, tourism is now its main source of prosperity. What would otherwise be a fairly dull stopover en route betweenSalta,ArgentinaandLa PazorPotosí, has become absolutely mandatory on this leg of thegringo trail. The sole reason: salt flats, the world's biggest: theSalar de Uyuni. There's not that much to do in Uyuni itself, so just plan to stay for as long as it takes you to do your salt flat tour. Spending one night in town before the tour and one night after should be enough, and may even be more than you need depending on your transportation plans.
