| Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia |
A 4,000 square mile salt plane in the Bolivian altiplano is one of the planet's few candid void's. It attracts tourists by its emptiness.
You will enjoy catching breath at12, 000 ft above sea level.
It is a high altitude place with no air. Even a short walk makes you breathless.
To enjoy this novel experience you have to cross this huge white space.
That involves a four-day off-road trip from the town of Uyuni to the Chilean border.
There are no roads but shallow tracks made of salt.
Old trucks move on just narrow tire- trails that look like the grooves of an ice floor.
Travelling in small groups with a local driver is the only option.
bolive, salar de uyuni, travel has professional and trained drivers for this shallow track travel.
You can hire a room in a lonely little place built with salt bricks called

In such a remote area you cannot conceive of modern technology.
Along the edge of the pure white lake is the amazing altiplano. It has beautiful multi-coloured ravines. The high peaks of volcanoes present an everlasting feeling of colors.
You can halt during the day.
You can meet the descendants of Pre-Inca Tiwanaku civilizations there.
Pre-Inca Tiwanaku people used to cross the Salar de Uyuni by foot.
You will be surprised to find several Vicachas , kind of chinchilla, and flocks of flamingos pink against the white salt in this big void and airless habitat.
They feed on small brine shrimps in these red lakes.
Then, the mesmerising Isla Del Pescado or Fish Island (for its fin-like shape) is, really, worth seeing. It is a small hill covered with a giant cactus.
From above, you could see only endless white all the way to the skyline like a picture from some horror movie about endless empty space.
You will find a dinosaur bone or a "giant tiger" from the last Ice Age in their local language.
Watch out nights come suddenly at this high altitude.
Hire a room in makeshift hotels or pastoral farmhouses or private residences converted into tourist accommodation. They provide food like beef, chicken and sinewy llama roast with harsh aguardiente to drink.
You will definitely enjoy the fresh, thin, pure, clean air of this white void.
