Description

Flight over a mountainous landscape and over Uyuni City. Uyuni (Aymara,the one that has got a pen) is a city in the southwest of Bolivia. There is little agriculture in the area because water supplies are scarce and somewhat saline.

Uyuni primarily serves as a gateway for tourists visiting the world's largest salt flats, the nearby Uyuni salt flat. Each year the town receives approximately 60,000 visitors from around the globe. The city also acts as a gateway for commerce and traffic crossing into and out of Bolivia from and to Chile, and there is a customs and immigration post downtown.
