An abandoned 16th century mining town, where slave labor was used. Guides provide different stories why it's no longer inhabited. An equally named village is nearby, but it's not overlooked by the ominous volcano Uturuncu.
A town nearby the homonymous mine, one of the largest mine facilities in Bolivia. The town used to be near the mine, but was completely moved to this area. There was a 350-year-old church in the city; it was not destroyed, but instead transported and rebuilt stone-by-stone at the new spot, including the cemetery. The altar within is made of silver, likely because the mine is 3rd largest silver producer of the world.
Near world's second largest silver mine, at this historical site there's the Bolivia's first railway and a train robbed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
The famous lot of old wrecked steam locomotives.
A lake at the foot of the Uturuncu volcano, called according to the color of its clear blue water (caused by magnesium and manganese). Andean flamingos feed and form large flocks here.
A salt processing village, 7 km north of Uyuni. Lots of salt souvenirs available for purchase, and there's a small museum of salt statues.
