4/5 - Good

Frontier post, cute dusty town, reminded us of the Wild Westmivies! Lots of good restaurants, good food. Excellent breakfast in the replacement hotel.

The city of Uyuni itself is a dusty old town that attracts a ton of backpacker tourists who want to visit the salt flats. It's sad that the tourist cars leave rubber tracks all over the salt flats so maybe they can work on making it more sustainable.

2/5 - Disappointing

Uyuni is mostly half built and the roads are unpaved and very dusty.

5/5 - Excellent

Visiting the salt flats has been the most magical experience. This hotel was convenient in the way that we did the stargazing tour and its right next to the salt flats so the cars actually have to pass by the hotel so it was convenient for that.

Only the train cemetery and salt lake in Uyuni are nice. The rest of the town is unfortunately pretty run down... but people are very nice.

Uyuni has a wonderful surrounding, with some amazing views. It is the gateway to unique Salar salt desert and to a sand desert with marvellous lagoons, rock formations, scenic volcanoes and exotic fauna. Altitud and poor infra are quite challenging.
