We got up in Potosi and headed over to the main square, which was really pretty and surrounded by nice churches and buildings like the theatre. We then went over to the Casa de la Moneda of Potosi, which used to be the mint and was a really interesting tour. The guide showed us around firstly some 17th century paintings held in there then took us through the old process of making coins there. Because Potosi is founded on a massive hill that has been a silver m...

We had a very early start at 5am to see the sunrise over Salar de uyuni, and headed over to the flat to get prime seats for the sunrise! It was very very cold but we persevered and the views were worth it.

The next morning we went out to find a tour to book our three day Uyuni tour. After managing to find a company with good reviews and booking it all, we had some lunch in Borras again (the nice restaurant from the night before), which had the biggest portions I've ever seen! I had a strange chicken lasagne that was lovely, but I barely made a dent in it!Later we went out on our tour of the Valle de la Luna. It started with a trip to the salt caves in the de...
