Salt Flat Excursion - Day 3

Chris tells me that we went to see the Sol de Manana (Geysers) and at 7am we arrived to where we were having breakfast. This place also had some hot springs, so we all came prepared and with people standing round in their fleeces, hats, gloves etc... we were in our swimming things and in the hot water. It was lovely, first hot water in about 2 days!



We visited the Laguna Verde - which is green due to the arsenic in it, but the place was magical. The reflection on the mountains were glorious, so breathtaking. The Valley of the Rocks was a great place too, with all the guys having fun climbing over the formations.

Leaving here were were on the home stretch - well, Uyuni stretch. We got snacks in a town called San Cristobal (which was relocated due to a Canadian oil company needing the ground) and at 6:30 we go back to Uyuni. Our train to La Paz didn't leave until midnight, so we had so much time to kill and with people being tired and little information being told, tempers were starting to go,. Roll on La Paz and some time to just relax.
