That train is supposed to be a historical monument, but it's a pity that it wasn't well maintained! The landscape of the salt flats is very desolate, but it has a spectacular beauty that is very special! The cactus forest there is really beautiful and spectacular! 15'13 The cactus in the middle makes a gesture to you, luckily it's not the middle finger, haha! Your video of the dinosaur and the potato chip jar is so cute! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video, great job! 👍🥰🙏
I have to say this was one of my favourite videos! When you guys were in that line and dancing I laughed out loud! Chris! You've got the moves !! It was such a fun video to watch. Love!!
Chris & Carol:Thanks you guys so much for this new remarkable video that was released today’s from Bolivia in South America to shows these amazing things & places November of 2023❤❤❤
A beautiful video Chris and Carol....The salt flats. old trains and cacti were amazing, as Chris said "looks like another planet" Great views with the drone and like the fun shots....very funny. Good luck with rest of tour guys, I look forward to seeing the rest of tour,all the best to you both. ❤
Love your work guys always getting off the main tourist tracks making your documentaries extremely interesting. Thank you and keep up the excellent work
What a strange and amazing place. The island in the salt flats loked like it was a rock in a frozen lake. Loved the little comedy skits that you included to the video.
I do plan to visit Bolivia within 2 to 3 years, but I want to go during the rainy season when the desert is filled with water so you get the mirror reflection of the sky effect. I do like that island of cactus over the salt flats - very nice contrast. The area reminds me of the Great Salt Lake in Utah since they also have salt flats where they do drag racing at a certain time of the year.
I heard the name "Uyuni" used on a white color for a luxury car brand (Genesis from Hyundai), so its interesting to see what its name originally came from
Dudes nice one!! Gotta add this to my bucket list!! Super drone shots around the island of cactus. It really put the scene in perspective. Wow Happy Travels
What an intriguing place! The salt flats truly do look like another planet, especially with the added island full of cactus! Your drone shots were stunning…gave us a true sense of the scale of things! ❤ Loved the other cute scale photos & videos you did with the group. 😂
Wooow! Heading there in February 2024 and I can't wait to see it myself! Thanks for sharing all of these awesome videos Chris and Carol! May I ask what tour company did you go with? Thank you.
Not sure which but they appear to be basically all the same, even our group was mixed with people from 2 different tour companies. If you do the 3 day tour you will do the same things at pretty much the same times
Just discovered your channel. I was in Bolivia earlier this year (La Paz/El Alto, Salar de Uyuni, Copacabana/Lake Titicaca cruise, and Charquini hike up to 5024 m), so I've really enjoyed your videos. I subscribed and can't wait to watch all your other travel adventures. I really appreciate your calm voice and style.
Congratulations to you guys for your new remarkable video today’s from Bolivia in November of 2023 South America to shows these amazing places in great joy 2023❤❤❤
Very nice video!! I was in Uyuni some years ago on a motorcycle. Fortunately it was dry season, so we could drive on the salt. Fish Island (Isla Pescado) was a great visit - no entrance fee at that time. They told us that the cacti are about 500 years old.
Very impressed about this big Salt area. Not really easy to understand how this can be on 3700meters over sea Level. These droneshots and although the Pictures are amazing . Iam waiting for more . 😊
It looked just like the Bonneville salt flats in Utah at the beginning with the cacti and everything. I live in Arizona and that island looked just like southern Arizona. Those saguaro species looked different than the ones here. They looked like a combination of saguaro mixed with cholla cacti. I've never seen cacti like those. I hope ya'll make it up to Colombia and Panama
@@JumpingPlaces I like your exploring vids and would like to know if you'll consider traveling to Africa. You are both brazilian(?) so I get the south america travel.
@@N8russellyeah we might be going soon even at the start of next year. Still working out our plan. We have been to Egypt before but I suppose that is more of a middle eastern culture compared to many other African countries
yes and no. There are locally sourced options (llama, sheep, vicuña) those are most costly and in many cases are handmade the patterns are shared between Bolivia and Peru but they are also used in Ecuador. Chile and Argentina have been selling them for the last 15 years. The patterns and colors are similar but some are specific to the region and represent indigenous nations or tribes others like llamas, condors, chakanas (Andean cross), Inti (sun) jaguars, vicuñas are more of an Andean theme. Many tourists are uninterested in more coarse knits citing allergies or simply prefer softness but refuse to pay for vicuña wool; so local Spinners, weavers and knitters are using imported acrylic materials. A good thumb rule is to ask for sheep, llama, or vicuña wool or a mix of them options.
Amazing video ,I take lots of inspiration from you, I just came from the Philippines and my next destination is South America (Peru ,Chille and Bolivia) , your videos are really good with All the details for every traveler. Can I ask you from which company did you book this tour? This is exactly what I want to do. All the best 👍
2:38 What is the history of these locomotives? I imagine they were abandoned in the 1950s. I can never understand the wastefulness of that era because they still use steam engines in some countries. Because they don't use oil as fuel and they are perfectly capable of traversing such altitudes they could still be of use today. 3:15 Yeah with as many as they left there I suspect they left them there thinking they could rust away faster. Just a guess. I wonder if the metal melted down would be valuable.
I can tell you a bit about the old steam trains, they went out service after the Pacific war between Bolivia and Chile; when Bolivia became a landlocked country. he trains used to transport minerals from Oruro/Potosi to Antofagasta (old Bolivian province) most of the British companies left and abandoned the trains. Bolivia had no engineers or anyone to that matter capable to keep the train running and they were left rot. Today they stand as memories of another time and a dream that never was.
@@curiousnomadicYes, they around 140 years , they went into service around 1860/1870 I think after the war they were used for a while maybe up to the 1900 but without proper maintenance they just went out order and eventually completely abandoned. In la Paz there are is few older train-cars that were repurposed as fast food stands.
So beautiful. Where you have found your guide? Gives an website or you foundet in the village? I will walk trought the salt-dessert and need a top preparie. Thank you.
@@JumpingPlaces thanks for the reply! in general do you think it is safe to do this trip? I read very negative reviews, guide with broken cars, danger of accidents and corruptions at the border. Same thing for the La Paz-Uyuni night buses. I don't know whether to trust them anyway being organized by tour operators.
Not sure, we booked it on the main street in uyuni that has many companies. They all do the same tour. They also joint us with people form a different tour company.
We are not sure what the name is, we just went to one of the stores on the main street. They all do the same tours though. Our group had people from 2 different tour agencies joined together

This series is certainly educational. No idea these places existed. From a distance the salt flats look just like snow.
Well done Chris & Carol….. You have peeked my interest….. Bolivia is now on my radar for possible places to visit …. Keep up the great work….!!!!

Thank you 🙌
Love your work guys always getting off the main tourist tracks making your documentaries extremely interesting. Thank you and keep up the excellent work
Amazing site! Good idea to use the drone. It gave a good perspective of the size of the cacti island in that vast salt flat.

Alright Chris showing off some of your editing skills 👍
Thanks 👍
Wow this is definitely a good place to travel
It really is!
Beautiful place!
loved loved loved how Carol was dancing!😍
@5:37, are the "arts & crafts" locally sourced?
Not sure, the 3 countries we have been to around here seem to have identical designs and clothes so I imagine it is not all local

Shiny bit could have been ' fool gold ' Iron Pyrites ' :-)
Nice crystals .
Heavy though .
Wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So beautiful. Where you have found your guide? Gives an website or you foundet in the village? I will walk trought the salt-dessert and need a top preparie. Thank you.
just found in the uyuni town, there are many tour agencies there. The tours are all identical i think
@@JumpingPlaces best thanks - that helps me a lot!
If you guys don't win travel of the year award, I'm slapping a you tube commitee.😂
Two beut sho in vedeu one is the most beutefol dasat and uor frand two and she is waes so quet to good bales uo🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏🕉👍
Amazing place, so unique ❤❤❤
Maybe the town is not well kept because a lot of people choose the private accomm at the salt planes. So the money doesnt funnel back in? Idk
Beautiful video and nice place ❤❤❤ take care always
Thank you! You too!
I love this video❤🎉
Excellent Video
interesante.......
JALLALLA BOLIVIA 🇧🇴👏👍💪
the ancient train really caucht my attention bro 😀😀
I like the "special effects" of the dinosaur
Camera looks super clear , did you buy a new one ?
No it's still the gopro, when the skies are clear the image of the gopro is really nice.
What tour operator did you chose for this trip to the desert?
not sure, they actually put us with a different company anyway. They all do the same tours and join different companies together it seems
