Saturday 7th October 2006: BOLIVIAN SALT FLATS TOUR: Salt Hotel

At the end of our visit to the `Devils Cave´ it was approaching sunset so we headed to our accommodation for the night; a hotel made entirely of salt, even the beds, tables and chairs! Driving to our salt hotel we spotted the extremely rare Vicuñas whose fur is used to make the most expensive fabric in the world which is super light, super warm and finer than cashmere. We enjoyed a restful night at the Salt Hotel (it had been a long day at such high altitude) and the next morning we awoke at six in the morning to begin the second day of our tour.
