The Middle of Nowhere: Uyuni, Bolivia to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile Day 1

Feelin' excited
Largest salt flat in the world? Check. Lagoons filled with wild flamingos? Yup. Boiling mud and shooting steam from an active volcano? And how. Deserts where James Bond films were made? Why the hell not. All of this can be seen and more on the 3 day 4x4 excursion from Uyuni, Bolivia to San Pedro de Atacama the latter of which is an oasis town in the driest desert in the world. In the upcoming posts, we'll share with you photos and videos of this amazing journey, while letting the photos and vidoes speak for themselves (i.e. we're too lazy to write anything)
Feelin' excited
Seeing as we put together about 1 zillion pictures and 3 videos, I'll let those images do the talking as images speak a thousand words. So come along with us as we cram 8 people into a 4x4 for 3 days, stay in rustic shelters, and learn slang Dutch words.

Fantastic scenery! Bring me home a rusty bolt from the train cemetary! We love you!
Minus the llamas, many photos reminiscent of the American southwest. Beautiful photojournalism.
I think you may have single handedly changed my travel plans from Asia to Central & South America.

Salar de Uyuni was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. It's incredible - I'd go back and do it again anytime!!
