The Salar de Uyuni in southwest Bolivia is the world’s largest salt lake, covering some 10,000km². Islands in its centre covered in giant cacti only add to some of the most surreal landscapes on the planet. The whole region is spectacular; with the volcanoes of the Cordillera Lipez range, brightly coloured mineral lakes contrasting with the barren high altitude Siloli Desert and wind eroded rock sculptures that Henry Moore would be proud of!
High quality photographic prints of Bolivia with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints and greeting cards are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details. If you would like a print of any photograph that is not in the gallery please contact James Brunker at magicalandesphotos@yahoo.com A high resolution version of the desired image can easily be uploaded for you.

Cave and Cacti
Giant cacti silhouetted in the mouth of a cave on Incashuasi Island (sometimes mistakenly called Fish Island). The island is formed of volcanic rock covered with coral-like formations and sedimentary layers; consistent with the theory that the Salar is a remnant (as is Lake Titicaca) of a much larger lake called Minchin by geologists that covered the entire altiplano millenia ago. In the background is the Tunupa volcano (5368m / 17,715ft), the salt lake is also known by locals as the Salar de Tunupa.
