Train Cemetery
We begin our tour by exploring the fascinating Train Graveyard, located on the outskirts of the city. This impressive historical site allows us to remember and visualize the golden age of the region's mining industry. Here, you can admire up close a variety of abandoned and disused trains, dating from the late 19th century and early 20th century. A unique experience for lovers of history and photography! The Train Cemetery is a must-see for any tourist looking to learn about the culture and history of the Uyuni region.
2 Flame and Salt Museum
The Town of Colchani is a small community located on the shores of the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, where locals are dedicated to the exploitation of salt and the creation of crafts. Among the crafts that can be found are picture frames, jewelry boxes, typical animals of the region and other accessories made with salt and decorated with elements of the Andean culture. In addition to salt crafts, in the Town of Colchani you can also find beautiful textiles, traditional fabrics and functional or decorative ceramics. Everything sold here is handmade and unique.
