    Actually, I was at the Salar de Uyuni a long time ago. It was exactly in February/20 and on the turn of the tour we became aware that the pandemic had been decreed. But the walk was amazing! Unforgettable! We arrived at Salar on a night of storm and heavy rain, but the next morning... Oh, the next manhà the salar was magical!
