The Salar de Chiguana in Bolivia is a vast expanse of salt that is less well known than the Salar d'Uyuni, but just as fascinating. This desert landscape, marked by white and ochre tones, is criss-crossed by a railway line that seems to stretch endlessly beneath the brilliant blue sky. The perfect symmetry of the tracks draws the eye and invites contemplation, offering a unique perspective on the surrounding immensity.
The railway is a testament to the region's economic history, linking remote villages with mining areas and the rest of the country. Surrounded by remote mountains and volcanoes, the Salar de Chiguana is a must for travellers looking to explore landscapes off the beaten track.
Whether it's to admire the contrast between the salty expanse and the azure sky, or to capture some memorable shots, this place is an ode to the infinity and solitude of Bolivia's great outdoors.
Passionate about photography, I travel the world in search of the most beautiful shots.
