On the outskirts of Uyuni, the Train Cemetery (Cementerio de Trenes) stands as a testament to Bolivia’s Gilded Age. Here, hollowed-out locomotive shells, heavily corroded by the salt from the nearby Salar de Uyuni, lie scattered in the open. Visitors can explore and climb these rusting giants, some of which have been repurposed, like one that now features a swing. The stark, desolate landscape and the eerie, decaying structures create a unique and atmospheric experience.
