  Salar de Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia
Sunday, May 9, 2010

É muito complicado escrever sobre o que vimos hoje. O Salar de Uyuni é, literalmente, um deserto de sal. São 12 mil km2 de sal. Atravessámos este deserto branco para visitar as Múmias de Coquesa, a Isla Incahuasi e ainda o Museu de Sal. Atravessar o salar é uma experiência única. Sair do jipe, pisar o sal e olhar à volta é simplesmente inesquecível. É outro planeta completamente! Passámos o dia todo neste "planeta" e já estavamos com saudades antes mesmo de partir. É garantidamente um daqueles locais que toda a gente deveria visitar uma vez na vida! É sem dúvida uma maravilha da natureza e uma das mais belas que já vimos!

It's really complicated to write about what we saw today. The Salar de Uyuni is, literally, a desert of salt. It's 12K km2 of salt. We crossed this white desert to visit the Mummies of Coquesa, the Isla Incahuasi and the Salt Museum. Crossing the salar is a unique experience. Leaving the jeep, stepping foot on the salt and looking around is simply unforgettable. It's totally another planet! We spent the day in this "planet" and we were missing it even before leaving. It is definitely one of those places that everyone should visit in a lifetime! It is without doubt one of nature's wonders and one of the most beautiful we've seen!
