We continued to drive through the Atacama Desert today enjoying the spectacular scenery. We stopped at four lagoons for photos, some green, and some red. Two of these had large numbers of Flamingoes feeding on the algae and plankton in the lagoons. It was quite cool that we could get within 10m from some of the Flamingoes. We also saw some awesome rock formations that were apparently the inspiration for Salvador Dali, they were beautiful.
Later in the day we bid farewell to the desert and entered the edge of the Uyuni Salt Flats. After not too long we reached our hotel for the night which sits at 3700m. This hotel was very cool because it was constructed entirely of salt! Everything in the hotel was salt except the mattresses on the beds and the bathrooms, it was awesome to see salt being used in such a different way.
