Explore Uyuni | Enter the Dreamy World of the "Mirror of the Sky"

| Enter the Dreamy World of the "Mirror of the Sky". Average Climate Temperature Uyuni is located in a plateau area, with an average annual temperature of around 10°C. The rainy season is from December to March, with relatively high temperatures averaging 15°C–20°C. The dry season is from April to November, with relatively low temperatures, especially in the winter months of June to August, when nighttime temperatures can drop to -10°C or even lower. Food Recommendations • Barbecue: Local barbecue is mainly made with beef and lamb, with tender and juicy meat, served with French fries and vegetable salad, and tastes delicious. • Salteña: A pie-like delicacy, usually filled with chicken, beef, or vegetables, with a crispy crust and rich filling. • Charque: Dried beef jerky, a local specialty snack, easy to carry, suitable for eating on the go. Scenery Recommendations • Uyuni Salt Flats: The world's largest salt flats, which form a "mirror of the sky" during the rainy season, reflecting the sky, clouds, and mountains in all their glory. During the dry season, the salt flats dry up, revealing unique polygonal salt crystal textures, like geometric works of art. • Train Cemetery: Located outside the town of Uyuni, there are many abandoned locomotives, and the rusty trains contrast sharply with the desolate plateau, making it a great place to take retro-style photos. • Incahuasi Island: The island is home to giant cacti that are thousands of years old, some of which can reach up to 10 meters in height. Hiking to the top of the island offers a panoramic view of the vast salt flats. • Colored Lagoons: Including Red Lagoon, Green Lagoon, Yellow Lagoon, etc., which appear in different colors due to the action of minerals and microorganisms, and are also important habitats for flamingos. Precautions • Altitude Sickness Prevention: Uyuni is at a high altitude, and altitude sickness may occur. Prepare altitude sickness medication in advance, avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival, and allow your body to gradually acclimate. • Clothing Preparation: The temperature difference between day and night is large, so no matter when you go, bring warm clothing, such as down jackets, thick sweaters, warm pants, etc. Also, prepare sun protection items, such as sunglasses, sunscreen, sun hats, etc. • Transportation: The local road conditions are complex, and some areas have poor road conditions. It is recommended to choose a reputable travel agency and experienced drivers. Be cautious when driving yourself. • Currency and Payment: The currency of Bolivia is the Boliviano, and some places in Uyuni may not accept credit cards, so it is recommended to bring enough cash. • Environmental Protection: The ecological environment of Uyuni is relatively fragile, so do not litter when playing, and keep the environment clean.
