Well, pack your hiking boots and your favorite healthy snacks, because we’re heading to…

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia!

Why Salar de Uyuni Is So Special

Salar de Uyuni is the biggest salt flat in the world—it’s over 4,000 square miles of flat,

white magic. It was once a huge lake that dried up and left behind miles and miles of salt.

And when it rains just a little, it turns into a mirror so big, it reflects the sky. It’s like

standing on clouds!

Your kids (and let’s be honest, you too) will feel like astronauts on a space mission.

But Salar de Uyuni isn’t just cool to look at—it’s full of family-friendly fun, healthy

adventure, and wow-worthy moments.

🏃‍♂️Move Your Body, Breathe That Air

Traveling to the salt flats isn’t just for photos—it’s a chance to get moving together as a

family!

Here’s how to stay active and energized:

• Salt Trekking: Walk or bike across the endless white land. No hills, just salt and sky. It’s like being on a giant wellness runway!

• Train Graveyard Exploring 🚂: Check out an old, abandoned train station. Your kids will love climbing the rusty trains, and you’ll love the family workout.

• Climb Incahuasi Island 🏝️: Yes, there’s an island in the middle of the salt! It’s full of giant cacti (some are over 1,000 years old!) and gives you the best views of the flats.

Pro Tip: Don’t forget sunscreen—even if it’s cool, that salt reflects the sun like whoa!

🌋A Volcano, a Spa, and Pink Flamingos? Yes, Please!

Bolivia isn’t shy about mixing fun with fitness. Near Salar de Uyuni, you’ll find:

• Tunupa Volcano: You can hike part of it with older kids. The trail is beautiful and not too tricky—perfect for adventurous families who like to sweat a little.

• Hot Springs by the Red Lagoon ♨️: After a long day, soak in natural hot pools while flamingos dance nearby. It’s like a spa, but with birds. Fancy and fun!

• Laguna Colorada: This red-colored lake (yes, red) is home to thousands of pink flamingos. Great for slow strolls and jaw-dropping photos.

🍽️Eat Well, Feel Great

Okay, let’s talk food—because even explorers get hungry.

In Uyuni town and nearby villages, you can find delicious, wholesome Bolivian meals:

• Quinoa Everything: Bolivia is the original home of quinoa! Enjoy it in soups, salads, and even breakfast porridge.

• Charquekan: A healthy-ish dish made with llama meat, cheese, corn, and potatoes. High protein, very filling!

• Coca Tea: Sip slowly. This herbal tea is famous for helping with the altitude (yes, you’re high up here!).

Got picky eaters? Don’t worry. Most places offer chicken, rice, and fruits your kids will

recognize.

🏨Where to Stay (Yes, You Can Sleep in a Salt Hotel!)

it’s real! From the walls to the beds to the lamps, many hotels are made from salt, and

they’re surprisingly cozy.
