Salar de Uyuni y bici

Mmmmmmm, salt…..
Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni – one of the more surreal cycling experiences. There’s about 5000 square kilometers of this stuff. The only regret I have about this trip was that I didn’t try to ride clean across it – a two day effort by all accounts. Maybe next time.

Salar de Uyuni y bici belongs to the following groups:

Film Photography, Landscape Photography, Latin America and Travel and Adventure

  • Steven  Sandner

    Steven Sandner, 4 months ago

    wow. that is beautiful! i want to go there!!! lol, pansy for not trying to ride across!!! (eventhough… a ride like that could be really dangerous without some bearing of which direction your heading or the true distance) awesome photo and ideas here though!

  • Syd Winer

    Syd Winer, 4 months ago

    Ha! Thanks Steven – not as dangerous as it looks. Just out of shot were the mountainous shoreline to the right and ‘islands’ to the left. By aiming my camera between them you certainly get the impression that it’s a featureless landscape. Oh, and jeep tracks run out to an island in the middle so I don’t think too many cyclists get lost out there.

    Insane? Ha! Sane! Now using 4wd where it’s clear a bicycle can go… that’s insane.

  • Elaine Harriott

    Elaine Harriott, 2 months ago

    Wow – amazing!! it must’ve been such a fantastic trip….but yeah probably better off in a 4WD to go all the way across it. Still, this shot shows the effort it would’ve taken. Great perspective and use of the bike for scale.
