Magical Andes Photography

BOLIVIA - SALAR DE UYUNI

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!

"The Rock Tree"

The most famous of all the strange formations, this "Rock Tree" (or "Arbol de Piedra") is a favourite stop for tour groups travelling in the region. It is situated in the barren high altitude Siloli Desert, once one has stood in the high winds charged with sand and gravel for a few minutes it is easy to imagine how it was formed!
