The highlight of this part of Bolivia is the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. As it's the rainy season here, the 12,000 sq km of billiard table flat salt rock is covered in an inch of water - creating mirror clear reflections for as far as the eye can see. We've palled up with another Argentine/Brit couple, Pablo & Cherry, and shared a 4x4 out onto the flat for the day, stopping for lunch in the middle at a small hotel built entirely of salt-rock, including the tables and chairs. The vast open flatness, silence, surreal reflections and good company made for a truly magnificent experience. Big wow.
