Overlanding the Bolivian Salt Flats 🧂 El Salar de Uyuni

Join us on an unforgettable adventure to Bolivia's stunning Salar de Uyuni, one of the most iconic destinations for overlanders. Over five incredible days, we explored this expansive salt flat in our expedition truck, uncovering its unique beauty and challenges.

Camping on the salt flats was like stepping into another world. Surrounded by 11,000 square kilometers of pure white salt, we slept under a sky filled with stars, enveloped in complete silence—no insects, no dogs, not even a rustling leaf. It was an experience of unparalleled tranquility and wonder.
Driving across the salt flats, we covered hundreds of kilometers in a landscape that felt endless yet captivating. We discovered islands covered in ancient, fossilized coral, remnants of a time when these flats were part of a vast ocean. Each moment brought a new sense of awe and amazement.

Kara added to the excitement by zipping around on her trusty scooter, bringing a fun and dynamic element to our exploration. Whether she was chasing me or just enjoying the ride, the scooter made our journey even more memorable.

But this beautiful, stark environment also demands caution. The intense sunlight reflecting off the salt can lead to severe sunburn and even snow blindness—sunglasses and sunscreen are essential. At night, temperatures can plummet to -11°C, so having a reliable heater is crucial for staying warm.
Come along with us as we delve into the wonders of Salar de Uyuni. From starlit nights and ancient coral islands to the thrill of scooter rides across the flats, our journey showcases the extraordinary beauty and solitude of overland travel in one of the most unique places on Earth.
