Bolivia was another logical stop after Chile. When I was in San Pedro de Atacama many there was a tour directly to Uyuni in Bolivia to see places as Salar de Uyuni which is another amazing wonder of nature. Before I went to Bolivia I dint know too much about it. My only knoweledge was from my research of Uyuni position in Google map and some basic info from the internet. I mean my plans weren't further than Chile so, this adventure brought me to country without any expectations Bolivia doesn’t belong amongst the popular destinations, you just know something about Chile or Peru but Bolivia being avoided by a lot of tourist.

​

Now I can say, it is really pity, this is special South American' country and yet is getting overlook, surpass by its neighbors. Avoided by tourist who rather prefer to go around from Chile to Peru and skip this marvelous place. When I came to Bolivia, I got charmed and just I stayed for another 3 months there. I evolve, from to be completely  nothing to meet somebody special, to improve significantly my Spanish from 0 to communication level and leaving with pleasant experience, with beautiful memories which I will never forget. Still, Bolivia is quite tough place and yet it did not stop to people smile or enjoy small details of lives because as we know they are most important :)
