The Salt Flats - 'A geographers wet dream'

I dare you to come up with an original picture amongst the awesome vast open white space that is the salt flats. This is a must do in South America.

This insane landscape is like nothing you will have ever seen before. Sprawling perfectly flat over the horizon the salt flats are a sight to behold. One of the highlights 'fish island' used to sit underwater but now is strangely perched above the ground covered in coral and cacti that soar four metres above your head. As one of my friends politely put it these landscapes are 'a geographers wet dream'. Moving off from the salt flats into day two also doesn't disappoint as awesome rock formations and crystal clear turquoise lakes covered in flamingos begin to appear. The trip also takes you to the eerie train graveyard just outside of Uyuni.

I would personally do a two day tour as three days drags out a little while and involves a lot a driving. You need 6 people for a car so preferably go with people you like, its far more fun taking silly photos and you won't kill each other cooped up in a car. You can do these tours from either Tupiza, Uyuni or from the Atacama desert in Chile (also make sure you spend the night in a salt hotel, you can sprinkle the table on your dinner).
