The trip to Bolivia - Peru - The Uyuni bus station

Where is the bus station? said the Finnish girl behind me. There is none. welcome to Bolivia.
At least in Uyuni which is a major tourist destination, they didn't bother building one. the buses just park outside the small travel agencies that will sell you tickets to your next destination.
Look for the "Baños" sign to go go relieve yourself, previous payment of course and you can buy something to eat at the kiosks on the boulevard.

The trip to Bolivia - Peru - The Uyuni Salt flats - Mystical sunsets

Now from the several tours you can choose from I took the sunset and stargazing tour.

It is particularly good this time of year(January, February) cuz it is the rain season and you get marvellous reflections on the  puddles left after the rain. provided that you get a smart guide that brings you to the right spot.

Needles to say that unless you hit a rainy day you will experience mystical sunsets.

The trip to Bolivia - Peru - The town of Uyuni

Uyuni is basically a gateway town where you stop to fetch a tout to the Salt Flats, it does though have some attractions like its Train Museum, or cemetery.
Littered with dozens of train carcases, it has seen better times, before being slowly looted by locals.

Unfortunately I had to rush by it, since I had to catch a bus, but here is some info from another travellers blog.

The trip to Bolivia -Peru - on my way to Uyuni, the road

On the road from Tupiza to Uyuni we begin to see the beautiful Bolivian lanscape with plenty arid rock formations.

the five hour trip went pretty smooth with one stop at a rickety mud shop which was anounced as a "pee stop"

As you can seee the buses that do the trip are not the latest models, but the air still worked.

The trip to Bolivia -Peru - on my way to Uyuni, Tupiza

one thing to bare in mind is that if you´re travelling by bus in Bolivia you can not buy tickets on line, everything is right then and there at the Bus station, so having arrive in Villazon at 7pm to find out that the last bus to Ulluni left at 6.30, i decided to advance to the next town heading North which is Tupiza.

I bought a ticket for the first bus next morning, found a cheap "pension" which was quite dumpy and spent the night at Tupiza .

Nevertheless i found the place quite picturesque so I woke up early and visited the local market and climbed the "Mirador" that overlooks the city to find quite a panorama.

From there I travelled by bus to Uyuni.
