- Bolivia 1st Stop coming Out Argentina -

Border crossing passing through the Villazon immigration post, directly to the bus station to start the trip to Uyuni.

The road from Villazon to Uyuni was really adrenaline-pumping, we had sectors with rainy crossing so as not to miss a moment of thinking when I will arrive, I arrived at Uyuni the town very early in the morning, rest and the next day, the most desired adventure the salar arrived, I recommend resting.
The Salar de Uyuni is located in the southwest of Bolivia and its average height is just over 3,600 meters above sea level, which makes this great salt the highest in the world. So much so that during the tour of the Salar de Uyuni you can exceed 5,000 meters in height in must-see places such as the Laguna Colorada. In addition, it also holds the honor of being the largest, occupying more than 10,500 km².
You must bear in mind that you will exceed 3,600 meters in altitude, so it is possible that you will feel the effects of the puna. Among the basic recommendations, it is advisable to acclimatize before going on the tour, that is, spend a few days in a place of considerable altitude to allow time for your body to get used to the decrease in oxygen in the air.
Between January and February (warm seasons) is the rainy season in the area. But that is not necessarily bad. You have probably seen photographs of the Salar turned into a gigantic mirror. This phenomenon only occurs at this time. If you are interested in seeing it, we recommend you go in mid-January or late February, as you will be able to see the reflections with a lower risk of rain. At this time, on average, the maximum temperatures are 16 ° C and minimum temperatures of -3 ° C.

Leaving Uyuni after that beautiful experience, (bring sunscreen and lots of water) to find myself in the city of La Paz was great fun, finding a great market in the streets has nothing to envy to a shopping, souvenirs, food, accessories for the phone everything is here, the weather already feels different and the cable cars that connect the city are incredible. You can see La Paz in 360. Here you rest and just walked the streets, some sectors at night are dangerous but there are some interesting bars and you eat very comfortably in La Paz.

From the La Paz bus station take a bus to Copacabana, it is almost on the border with Peru, there in this town you can hire boats that take you to the island for 20 Bolivianos. (3 usd) These lanchs leave from 8 am and until 3 or 4 pm the last as the tide gets rough. This boat trip is about 2 hours and it's great. I arrived at Puerto Sol and there a few meters was the entrance of this festival that in 2019 was the 8th edition. There I made a local friend from La Paz in which with Alejandra we shared a tent, plenty of water, and carry the necessary luggage, (I took all my luggage and it was a bit stressful) the festival cost 250 bolivianos (40 usd) and lasted 4 days on the eve of Easter. There were hydration stations, a small restaurant and 2 stages, the Main one with Psy Trance and the second stage chill music. Also on the premises you could do activities such as meditation, acro yoga, reiki yoga and others. These days were fun, I danced I bathed in Lake Titicaca despite the cold, when the sun goes down it gets very cold. They were really fun days and connected with nature.
