Just 20 km from the Uyuni is situated town of Colchani, the main basis for the tour to Salar de Uyuni. Most jeep tours stop here at the moment at the weird salt museum and souvenir stalls. It is far better to go to the „center“ and go through this strange mining town of ghosts with quite an interesting atmosphere.

You can see real jewels on the main street in Colchani.

The church on the square

The only preserved, repaired building is the church in the center of the village. Other buildings are significantly worse off.

Ghost´s Town

It is quite a big problem to meet here a living soul. Only wind and dust usually ride along the deserted streets.

Unique corners

Where else can a car serve as clothesline? :-)
