Road from Uyuni to Potosi, Bolivia

February 2008

With a strong feeling that there remained no undiscovered by me spots at Uyuni saline land, I set for a further trip along the route – in direction of Potosi, the richest city of South America at the time of Spanish crown reign on the continent. I wonder, if any of those magic treasures remained in modern Potosi? Is the architecture of this city so luxurious as the guide books write?

From the top of the hill I cast a farewell look to Uyuni, which has taken shelter as a sleepy oasis at the edge of the huge saline land.

The road presented magnificent landscapes, which opened one by one in front of my eyes, that is why 200 kilometers to Potosi flew by imperceptibly. I fell in love with Bolivia so much, that I took photos of everything that I thought to be interesting. I think that those, who due to any reasons are unable to travel, looking at these photos, will be able to repeat with me that fantastic trip from Uyuni to Potosi.
