Deep in the southern highlands bordering Chile and Argentina lie some of South America’s most captivating and otherworldly landscapes. Soaring volcanoes and hotsprings smoke in the afternoon sun while multi-coloured lakes harbour flamingos amidst terracotta canyons, petrified forests and vast desert landscapes. However, all pale into insignificance compared to the dazzling Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest saltlake.

Jeep trips into the saltlake run from the frontier town of Uyuni close by, home to the famous “train cemetery” where rusting carcasses of steam trains lie abandoned ion the surrounding track.
