[InkaWasi/IslaIncahuasi | The "Cactus Island" of the Uyuni Salt Flats]

[InkaWasi/IslaIncahuasi｜Cactus Island of the Uyuni Salt Flats] — A green paradise floating on the silvery white salt flats, a miracle left by an ancient volcano — At an altitude of about 3,656m, the former volcanic peak is now an island jutting out into the salt flats, and InkaWasi means "House of the Inca" in the local language. The coral reefs that remain as remnants of an ancient lake are overgrown with giant cacti with trunks of over 2m in circumference, creating a unique landscape.  . ⸻ 📍[Location] Located in the center of the Uyuni Salt Flats, about an hour's drive from Uyuni town. It is a standard spot that many tours always stop by. 🕰️[Viewing Point] The observation deck can be reached by a 15-minute hiking trail (15 minutes one way, 30 minutes in total). The contrast between the 360° view of the salt flats and the cacti is overwhelming. ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The green cacti standing on the endless white salt flats are simply moving, with the design power of nature! • It's like a mini "natural museum" where you can touch the ground where fossilized coral from an ancient lake remains. • From the top of the island, you can see the mountains and the mirror-like salt flats in the distance, and sometimes even a mysterious shadow! ⸻ 🎒Tips • There is an entrance fee to the island (about 15Bs). Allow plenty of time for payment  • Strong UV rays and strong winds due to the difference in altitude between the salt flats and the island: don't forget to bring a hat, sunglasses, and cold weather gear • The top of the island is crowded with tourists, so early morning and dusk are the best times to take photos and see the scenery • If you're worried about transportation on the way back, it's a good idea to check with your guide to make sure you meet at the meeting time ⸻ #InkaWasi #Bolivia #SaltFloorsOfUyuni #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
