Train Cemetery

It’s a cemetery for trains, for locomotives. And it’s so big that it looks as though all of the trains in South America were moved to Uyuni, Bolivia, to chug their last chug. It’s only about 3 km away from the Uyuni train station. Filled with hollowed out bodies that have completely rusted over and other remains, the “Great Train Graveyard” (also known as Train Cemetery or ‘Cemeterio de Trenes’ in Spanish) can be found on the otherwise deserted outskirts of Uyuni, a small trading region high in the Andean plain. Uyuni has long been known as an important transportation hub in South America and it connects several major cities. In the early 19th century, big plans were made to build an even bigger network of trains out of Uyuni, but the project was abandoned because of a combination of technical difficulties and tension with neighboring countries. The trains and other equipment were left to rust and fade out of memory. There are no restrictions in approaching the trains, so visitors often climb atop or go inside the train cars for taking pictures. Most of the trains that can be found in the Graveyard date back to the early 20th century and were imported from Britain. There are over 100 train cars with unique structure and occasional graffitis. In other places in the world, the mighty steel trains would have held up better. The salt winds that blow over Uyuni, which hosts the world’s largest salt plain, have corroded all of the metal. Without guards or even a fence, these pieces were picked over and vandalized long ago.

Colchani

Just outside the Salar de Uyuni salt flats lies the quaint salt-processing village of Colchani. This tiny village of just over 600 people is home to Bolivia’s largest salt-processing cooperative. Years ago, the inhabitants of Colchani used to exploit salt to exchange with other indigenous communities. Every year packs of llamas would travel incredible distances (up to 560km to Tarija) carrying salt, returning with coca, maize and other goods not produced in the Altiplano. This has since changed with the improvement of transport infrastructure and the salt is now sold by the cooperative in Bolivia and Brazil. The Salar de Uyuni contains an estimated 10 billion tonnes of salt, with an impressive 25,000 tonnes of it excavated and processed at Colchani annually. During your stop in Colchani you can see handicrafts made of salt, and textile art made of llama and alpaca. This is the perfect opportunity to buy authentic Bolivian souvenirs to bring home. The tour also includes a visit to a traditional salt factory where a local will teach you the process of extraction and refinement of salt. Despite this tour of the salt factory being free, those who take it are expected to give the local a donation for his time and effort. The tour is highly recommended if you’re interested in learning about how salt ends up on your kitchen table. A visit to the Salt Museum is also popular among those who stop off at Colchani. This tiny yet picturesque space consists of salt bricks and a multitude of carved sculptures. It isn’t your typical museum as it takes no longer than 5-10 minutes to see all that it has to offer which makes it the perfect quick stop off for those passing through the town.

Very good 1-day tour to get to know the Uyuni salt flat. The super cool guide Alejandro knows how to take great photos and helps you make your experience unique, with a good and creative tourist guide. A highly recommended place to visit and with this company you will surely be happy. If you have more time, the 3-day tour may be better since you will be able to see many more things and see the beautiful nights of the Salar.
Peaceful and spectacular day

A friend did the tour with this agency and recommended us. We really liked the friendliness and predisposition. Anghy the owner helped us all the time, it was very good communication. We booked the tour 2 days 1 night had my family and two more passengers what we had to share. We started at 10:00 we visited the train cemetery, then we arrived in Colchani to see the crafts and procedure of the Salt. Then we arrived and entered the long awaited place SALAR, we could not believe everything white, the breeze, the wind, the cold, the sun were perfect combinations to have the best day of our lives. We love the Salar we take very funny photos the guide a genius for photos and videos. And the sunset came, how beautiful, how beautiful, I have no words and with a toast we closed the day. They took us to the hotel with purpose highly recommended the same. The next day we went to the lagoons, there was everything I don't remember the name of the town but we were filled with history of place there was a church, hot springs a green lagoon. We ate rich, the guide who was our driver knew everything very well, friendly and polite. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY, you will not regret it.
