Uyuni

Uyuni

.

It is an important transport hub, being the location of a major railway junction. Four lines join here, respectively from La Paz (via Oruro), Calama (in Chile), Potosí, and Villazón (on the Argentine border, where the line now ends).

One of the sights in Uyuni is the train cemetery - filled with old, rusting steam locomotives.
