Uyuni was an acy moon from a far away planet called Minotauro. This moon broke away from its orbit and hit the Earth causing the Salt Flats. Uyuni or Huyunious was similar to Saturn's mysterious geyser-spewing moon Enceladus.

Interesting theory...

@HelmetVanga Evo isn't doing the Indian population any good. Food production and incomes have dropped since he came to power. He falls into the three worst tyrants in the western Hemisphere... Evo, Chavez and Obama. Fortunately Chavez is dying, Obama is going to be out of office one way or the other. Now it's Evo. Time to bring back freedom to Bolivia.

@goodtimebob why are you mixing politics with salt just curious?

@elmurguista Hey pig brain. Do you want to try your luck? I'm still around. More than a fair share of Indians can say. Any chance you are in California?

@goodtimebob

"illiterate indian" Wow!

So besides being a fascist, you are racist as well. People like you are the most disgusting scum of the earth. Everytime somebody like you dies, the world becomes a little better.

@elmurguista Evo has been systematically removing constitutional freedoms and turning Bolivia into a client state of Venezuela. I worked with both Banzer and Estensoro. As autocratic as they may have been they weren't trying to tear Bolivia apparent like that illiterate indian. Eventually, someone... either internally or contracted from outside will put a bullet in him.

The "Tyrant" Evo Morales? Lol, a "tyrant" that was democratically elected by the people of Bolivia. Evo Morales apparently does a lot of things to piss off the gringos and the oligarchy from Santa Cruz. Most of the people in Bolivia support Evo and what he is doing for the country. That you do not like him and call him "tyrant" is absolutely irrelevant.

Grande Evo!

The Salar de Uyuni is only one part of a fascinating circuit. No worry about running out of salt. I saw the figures of how many billions of tons in that one area. When you go there are also colored lakes whose color is based on the mineral content. High elevation, freezing cold and you see flamingos. I loved working in Bolivia for all the dangers. Now it is ruled by the tyrant Evo Morales.
