Bolivia - Oruro to Uyuni

As you get closer to the salt flats these signs disappear, making it even harder to find your way around

An old church next to Popóo Lake

Children on a boat in Popóo Lake

A church falling to pieces in Toledo village, a sign that time has forgotten those who live in the Altiplano


A lake reflecting the Sajama (the highest mountain in Bolivia) with flamingos

Me and Nuno and our shadows in the Altiplano

Sunset mist (Bolivian Altiplano)

Break for lunch on the margins of another salty lake

Blue church in Opequeri


Houses in Chipaya village


The ghost buildings on the way to Sabaya, they are the remnants of the old Chipaya´s


Crossing the bike in swampy areas, is not fun either!

The "funky piglet" that decided to keep us company for few kilometres on the way to Sabaya

Crossing sand dunes with a loaded byke, not fun! - trust me...

Looking the day ahead - more sand dunes!

Sand and more sand! ( on the way to Sabaya village)

Hard day but beautiful sunset!

Bolivian Altiplano - a land of sand, vulcanos and blue skies



Campsite in the dunes before reaching Sabaya


We can see Sabaya on the other bank, but still there´s an icy river to be crossed

Nuno crossing an icy river

Coipasa Salt Flat, the first salt flat we crossed

My gorgeous bike - Marin Muirhoods, or Marina as she likes to be called

In Coipasa - lunch break in white

Bizarre sighting - donkeys crossing Coipasa!!!

Coipasa at the end of the day and the first sight of water

Sunset in Coipasa


A formation called "ojos de água", legend has it that you can sink in them


My outfit to cross a wet salt flat
