Volcanic Rocks

The second day of the tour was spent traveling further into the Bolivian countryside. Our first stop was a field of rocks known as the Salvador Dali rocks, so named for obvious reasons. Our second stop was more strange rock formations, these were weathered volcanic rocks shaped from the wind and rain. Most of the rest of day was spent travelling closer to the Salar de Uyuni and admiring the landscape along the way. By dusk we had reached our destination - the Hotel de Sal at the edge of the salt lake. This was a hotel completely made from blocks of salt. Quite incredible, even the floor was covered in rock salt! We watched the sun go down with a beer and gazed in awe at the vast white space in front us which we were going to explore the following day.
