Exploration Path
We leave the lodge riding across quinoa crops. We cross Andean villages to access the Uyuni Salt Flat and arrive in Maimura Island. As we leave the populated area to enter the solitude of the salt flat, we actually feel the vastness.

Exploration Path
We drive to a high point in the Tunupa Volcano and begin our way down riding our bikes. Along the road there is a broad view of the Uyuni Salt Flat, crossing grazing lands, particularly of llamas. Along the road we get to see a large number of stone walls (pircas), of a pre-Incan origin, with diverse construction, protection, and grazing uses by Andean peoples.

We leave by bike and begin to ride until we cross a large section of the Uyuni Salt Flat. We hear the sound of the wheels cutting the salt and far views to the horizon. We arrive in Isla Pescado, to feel the vastness of the surrounding white plains. We return along the same road.
