Today was principally a travel day as our group made its way back to Uyuni. We left at 5 AM so we could enjoy the morning light of sunrise and made several stops along the way.

The Uyuni Train Graveyard (Cementerio de Trenes), located 3km outside the city, is an open-air graveyard of rusting 19th-century steam locomotives and carriages. Once a thriving transit hub for exporting minerals to the Pacific, the trains were abandoned in the 1940s after the mining industry collapsed and regional expansion plans failed. 

Throughout our journey, I have made numerous photographs of my fellow participants, mostly candid. Below is a staged exception that I like in particular. It features Las Chicas, a group of women who shared one of the SUVs, three of which have traveled together in the past.

As the sun set on the salt flats, we celebrated our time together and enjoyed one last look into the infinite.
