Why this is NOT for everyone! Uyuni Salt Flats Travel Vlog

- Visiting the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia was a dream of mine and this travel vlog covers what it was really like - from the incredible mirror effect to breaking down in the desert. I got to witness first hand that this adventure is not for everyone!
In retrospect, I want to add that I believe the ''gentleman'' was exhausted from being in the jeep and sleeping in the very basic accommodations and just snapped at the driver, taking it out on him. This is an adventure trip, and if you want to check this off your bucket list, make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Because despite all of this, it was still one of the most incredible journeys I've been on and loved it! I would highly recommend it to my fellow adventurous adults :)

Thanks to www.anfx.co for the VHS effect - I'm an 80's baby and this is how we collected memories
I'm not sure why this video has this title, why is Uyuni not for everyone? Because 2 workers got in a fight? Because the car broke down? The scenery is breathtaking and you got to experience an unbelievable place in our world that not many people get to go.
I don't understand either, what a weird rant. That's what happens when you travel with a tour group lol
I think she is referring to the family who demanded the driver to go back without finishing the tour. So more like saying “if you want absolute safety don’t go out there in the first place and ruin other people’s trip.”
She herself doesn’t seem to have problems with those breakdown and fights though. But yeah the title is misleading.
Wow. What an adventure! I love what you said about being kind to working people!! So true and thank you so much for this video! Loved it
It really was and I'm glad, thank you for the kind words :) are you planning on visiting Uyuni as well?
Linda - thank you for the great video. What travel company did you use for this trip?
wow it's totally amazing.... thank you for showing kindness to the driver & your right about what you said..God bless
I want to go to Uyuni so bad. It looks so amazing! Looks like you had an amazing bucket list trip!
You should totally come to Bolivia! Let us know if you ever come down or if you have any questions!
What time of year did you go to see the water reflection?
This was so well done! I did this exact tour a few years ago, and am just now going back through all my footage to make a video. Such an amazing experience, and your video totally showcases it all (good, bad and ugly!!) 😍
Thanks so much! Yea, it was definitely a unique experience full of ups and downs :) That will be fun to revisit and edit I'm sure!
Hey please let me know when you post our video of the salt flats!
That is so beautiful!! I have always want to go to those salt lake in South America!!
I hope you get to visit soon, it really is as beautiful as you'd imagine! So worth the trip
We really hope you get a chance to come! If you do please reach out to us before you come
Ahh it looks amazing!!
It was!! such a dream come true!
I have been living in Bolivia as an expat for about 2 years now and i still havent had a chance to visit Uyuni. As soon as this pandemic stuff settles down we will for sure make a trip there!
yes, you must do! it's such an incredibly place. How is the situation in Bolivia these days?
Tiwanako , puma punku are more mysterious in Bolivia. IMO
Don't wait , just go for it
Beautiful country and beautiful people 👍😊
Good video and nice place😊
Amazing!
Ugh I wanna do this tour so bad! Looks amazing. And I think it's great that you stood up for the driver, I'm sure the company appreciated it :)
It was everything I hoped it would be! and yea, I felt really bad for him...definitely didn't deserve that
We hope you are able to come one day!
Beatifull word👌
What month was this?
Awesome thanks for sharing
What camera do you use? The video was great
Awesome video! What tour company did you use please? And was the tour starting from La Paz?
Hermoso video del salar de uyuni 👍 👍
Thanks for the info, would love to know the name of the tour guys go with them. Flying down next week from miami
wow... that's a great place linda.. i will go there oneday in my life
Nice video, we did this last month and got altitude sickness. It was beautiful, but we had some issues. Are you traveling full time?
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! I struggled quite a bit with the altitude sickness stuff as well, it's no fun. Were you able to enjoy it despite the issues? And yes, as of January this year :) I made the leap
what tour company did you use please. and what time of year did you go? great video.
El Salar de Uyuni es Magico!
May I ask how much tour cost?
I will go here one day, and ill see the stars reflected
Genial
What's the name of the tour group? Planning on taking a trip and this price is much better than what I've been seeing! Please respond
Great video! Can you recommend the tour company/what was the cost approximately?
Thanks so much! It was approximately $230 for two of us... and I can't find the name of the company right now 😦 but if I do I will post it here
@@lifebylinda of course thanks for replying anyhow. My friend has a wedding coming up summer next year in Ecuador and I’m planning to make a stop here before.
Did you find the name of the tour company? Thank you
Yo pienso que los turistas muchas veces por tener más libertad y ahorrar no toman un tour avalado que les organice los lugares donde conocer en Uyuni y los hoteles y mejores restaurantes de comida boliviana gourmet que existe ahi. Todo eso les evitaría pasar malos ratos y disfrutar mejor de ese magnífico lugar
Other facts about Uyuni: Neil Armstrong visited this site. The ground has 7 layers of salt and many meters deep, and spread out over a whopping 4,086 square miles, the size of the city of Jersey or Zurich. This salt pan holds the world's largest deposit of Lithium .
This might sound like a stupid question but did ye get many bathrooms opportunities during the 3 days ?
Hi there linda,me and a friend are planing a trip there in april....any tips that you can share
Salar de Uyuni... ❤ Bolivia
Lindo lugar
What month did you go ?
Nice🎉
Very good
Absolutely stunning. Can I ask what camera you used because the visuals are ah-mazing!!
I liked your video. It's a more realistic look at the reality of tourism in some areas of the world where service may not exactly be optimal. It seems that you were unlucky to have shared the car with a moron who lacks respect for those hard-working people whose intention is nothing except giving us an unforgettable experience. That brings me to conclude that one needs to seriously consider the possibility of having to 'mingle' with other tourists when we travel - that may be a great experience for some, but it can also be a real bad one. Thank you for the video. I am actually making plans to travel to Uyuni this July - that's how I ended up in your video.
Es verdad, yo creo que podría justificarlo(de alguna manera) con el hecho de que mi país todavía se acostumbra a globalizarse, todavía hace falta mejorar mucho los servicios en turismo y eso lo reconocemos.
Ojalá más adelante pueda mejorar y brindar un servicio adecuado a los turistas.
Ojo: también hayque cosiderar que algunas empresas son más idóneas que otras, y es mejor elegir siempre bien.
I want to go uyuni so amacing.
Hy, how much has been the tour?tks
😊
Que bonito es el salar de uyuni
GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!!!
This place should be one of the world 7 wonders… it does look amazing…. However a vacation spot for me??? Umm maybe not. I would need more. I am more of an adventure seeker… so I get there and I get to take cool pics and witness a stunning sunset or sunrise.. sure it’s cool but typically I need a cliff to jump into the ocean from… hike to a hidden beach, or a huge cave with a river flowing underneath it while I navigate through the rocks on a tube… yea that kinda of stuff… but very cool nonetheless and I enjoyed the video. That’s probably the only way imma ever experience it..
The water makes a reflection. BUT what if its winter and the water turns to ice
I believe winter is the dry season so there isnt any water present on the flats
I can't believe it's true .
Next time don’t be cheap and pay for a private tour!
8:46 was legendary
Awa
Not for everyone, because you shouldn´t go to that kind of adventures with little children or old people....that´s why....I guess. I hope you get back to Uyuni in the future and enjoy a better time next time....
U look like Brigette Lundy Paine😊😊❤️✨
With the sunglasses on😎😎
I think skinny dipping would bring out the natural bealty..of the landscape...IMO.....please?
this video needs about 90% less talkative gringa & more footage of the scenery. is this a vanity project or a tour of Uyuni?
Seems she ignores to responding on her sunscribers' comments. Not respectful towards people
Girl, you're right. If the guy was so concerned for his family's safety, why go on a tour like that? 😅🤦🏾♀️ Perfect people don't exist.
Sorry that you had a male "KAREN" on your trip aka vacation. I'm surprised you didn't speak up and say be quiet. Or Enough already we hear you. Try not to sink to their levels. Getting out of the car to feel better than being trapped with crazy Karen. Why would he come along with you guys? Or did the other guys push him and his family on you and your tour guide? Trust me last thing you need on a long trip is that guy. When you guys are smelling the sulfur were you guys near a volcano? The salt is surrounded by dormant volcanoes So, I changed the subject?
