Seuls dans le plus grand désert de sel au monde ! VANLIFE au Salar d’Uyuni en Bolivie

Le Salar d’Uyuni, c’est tout simplement le plus grand désert de sel au monde. 11 000 km², soit une superficie légèrement supérieure à celle de la Corse. Situé en plein milieu de l’Amérique du Sud à + de 3 800m d’altitude. Et conduire dans ce désert, c’est un peu comme être perdu dans un rêve, ou peut importe la direction qu’on prend, tout se ressemble.

In this video we take you to the Salar de Ouyuni in the middle of Bolivia, let’s go, we’re going to lose it, the Salardouyuni is quite simply the largest saddle desert in the world, 11,000 km², an area slightly larger than that of Corsica located in the middle of

South America at more than 3800 100 m altitude and driving in this desert is a bit like being lost in a dream where no matter the direction you take everything looks the same you can visit the Salard during the rainy season when it transforms into a giant mirror but also during

The dry season in order to explore it and get lost in its immensity but before that you have to prepare your vehicle B so you wash the vehicle and then we grease it then why we grease the chassis with oil is so that the earth sticks to it and

Forms a layer of protection and once we come out of the Salard we will have to wash the vehicle again to remove this layer of fat and come on we are getting ready to take our first steps

On the Salard so at the beginning we follow tracks which are a little traced but then we will move away a little from the tourist areas and others and there so it’s really we can

Then either we’re a little on the line or we can try to make a little bit of our own tracks our own tracks towards there and it’s impressive there there’s nothing look there on the side and there we are, we made our first stop in the Salard, we don’t realize it, but it’s

Really very, very big there, we drove a little over 40 km in the Salard and we’re only halfway through the route. distance that we want to do today because we are going to go to a large island and there

What is crazy is that well we have the impression of having the Salard for us alone and tonight it’s going to be even crazier because I don’t think there are a lot of people who sleep like that like we’re going to sleep in the Salard but look at the shapes it

Makes, it’s super funny, we knew that it was a salt desert but it’s really just salt it’s crazy it’s completely crazy true the van in the distance look at Emine how small she looks in

The middle of a photo shoot look at that plus this van it is clean it is clean it was when brine the last time we washed it and well to steal it no the last time we washed it so it was shipping from Panama Colombia okay let’s go make perhaps the most

Beautiful shots drone of objective choya come on little drone fly away and let’s go let’s go quickly quickly quickly we therefore took the road towards this island which we can quite easily spot on a satellite view a bit like a spot on a white t-shirt and which is located about

A hundred kilometers from the entrance to Salard and here we start to approach the island we are going to sleep next to that one This evening we are going to try to go around to see where we are, we don’t know exactly yet the only thing we know is that we

Were told that we shouldn’t get too close to the island because that this is where we have the best chance of sinking, I think it’s because when it rains well all the water must come, it must come dripping on the edges of the island and so it’s is really where we

Being a little heavy we can really sink and get stuck during the rainy season it is possible to sink into the salt even being far from the islands but we currently in the middle of the dry season it does not there’s almost no risk, that’s good, we found where we were going to

Sleep that night, so we put ourselves right in the middle of the Salard anyway, we shouldn’t have too many neighborhood problems and there it is all the same quite an incredible place because look but there everything around me it’s really white but it’s it’s white and flat

But for kilometers and kilometers and kilometers and kilometers but there the night is falling all the tourists have left so there is really listen to that there is not a sound so we really have the impression frankly of being alone in the world on another planet finally

It’s quite a lunar place and this salt really impresses me. I did n’t think it was going to be so white. I had seen photos. I knew it was white but there it really is. It’s really beautiful, eh, maybe we stock up on

Good salt and on the other hand, luckily we put the oil in because look already, we’re already starting to see a bit of the saddle there which is being put in a little bit everywhere so yeah when we leave here we really need to wash the vehicle again because otherwise

I don’t think it’s going to like it well come on day 2 in the Salard well as you can see behind me there has the solar panels and Starling to install that and to say that that is to say that today we worked from the Salard and so now objective so

Be careful we are going to see that you want to do ine now I will do some photos ah look what she bought what did you buy I bought a dinosaur a beautiful dinosaur because

Yeah the Bastard anyway there are these photos which are very well known so we are going to show you how we got made to take these photos especially how we struggled because we don’t really know how to

Take them already you know where to aim by not that there is a car behind why don’t you aim towards there rather because there in reality there is no cars passing and we can’t see because we

Told ourselves that we were going to wait for the sun to set a little so that the light would be more beautiful but it’s true that we had forgotten our shadows and that’s okay maybe ruin the shadows in fact so

We’re going to do some tests there otherwise we’ll try tomorrow at noon when there’s no shadow B come on photo taken 1 until I have to go yeah I haven’t really got it yet B serious in real life ah

Well then wait but I see nothing on my screen no you are too far away I think there is something that I don’t understand ah photo attempt taken 2 you say that andrest

Yeah there it’s good to the right put yourself to my right yeah and say like you’re scared you run no but be more expressive I don’t know raise your arms no but like you’re scared ah no but don’t cover your

Face and over there I have to leave well yes the the dinosaur he runs after and I smash the dinosaur otherwise well go ahead smash it go do a judo hold I don’t know what there you can’t jump jump with a kick yeah ah ah shit wait no

Not now I took one ok 1 2 2 3 3 well apparently this second test was a little more conclusive well we finished the photo shoot I don’t know if it was very conclusive we will

Try again tomorrow I think this evening I had already done it yesterday but we put the little lights on the van because casually we are still in the middle of the Sala and I said to myself [__] let’s

Imagine in the night there is a guy like is having a blast and going all out and he doesn’t see us that will perhaps save us from someone crashing into us in the middle of the night and the sunset

Filming this magnificent sunset even if we might not be able to. see on camera and it’s wow eh because from there what time is it 6:30 p.m. there’s no one left there’s really no one left okay I’m going to take my little evening walk enem rine have a good

Evening walk towards there so yes if you like to think about life while walking the salardyuni it’s really the ideal place for you good go new day on the Salard and so today objective there it’s early

He it’s 7 a.m. morning we are going to go climb this little island look we have just arrived on the island so there is the tour operator blind and look what she has just found in

Brine it is the cat of the island we had heard about it speaking is that not everyone sees this cat in brine no but it’s true eh yeah yeah I had read comments it said if you are lucky you can see the cat of the island and then we roll in the salt

So it’s funny because we were 500 m further there we were alone for 3 days and [ __ ] there you arrive there there are 25 tour operator cars so there are of world for once come on let’s go let’s go to the island and we’ve been sleeping there for 3 days

And it’s funny when we gain a little height we also realize well all there is no real road in the Salard but there we see that it is or is used a lot there also there are

Lots of roads which are used a lot but here we are at the very top of the island well it’s a very little thing it lasts 10 minutes but there we have a great view of a great view of the

Salard and knowing that if I don’t say bullshit but towards there it’s the south Ipese that’s what we we’re going to do there when we come back from France it would have been huge to just be able to cross the Salard and land directly in the south of Ipèz we realize how

Gigantic it is and then we’re going to go back there so there we see nothing it passes in the sun we will have to return to this white expanse over there so as usual when we are in places like that I don’t know how we manage but we manage to miss the path

There is a moment we get lost it’s not we talk and we move straight ahead and there’s always a moment where we get lost or there oh there plus every time it’s when I no the last time it’s me there

I followed you stupidly yes but I don’t know I thought it was towards there so we make our way a little on the other hand what is quite crazy I think is that there we are in the parking lot

Of the most touristic island and we are the only ones we are the only ones to be we will say autonomous in a way all the others they are with guides it’s still been 4 or 5 days I

Think we are in the Salard that we sleep in the Salard and we didn’t see a single van not a single camper van we saw people on bikes we saw four people traveling by bike I don’t know

Where they slept maybe they slept more in the Island and not directly on the salt but as a result there are no people like us we will say with a with a van who who went who went to

The Salar we would say I was expecting we were really expecting to have some floodgates a little bit from everywhere in the Salard and in the end not at all we are the only ones there and yet it’s still

The good season it’s it’s it’s the start of the rainy season which is coming soon but the weather is still quite nice so it’s enough we really thought we’d see more of Van it’s funny there because we’re trying to find the kind of main track to follow it then it’s

Still straight but in actually we can’t find it we are lost in the middle of the salar rine we can no longer find tracks the real track ok we stopped there one last time I don’t know if you recognize this place but that’s where we shot the

Great intro by the way I think I’m going to put some little sequences for you because there were a lot of missed takes in this video we’re taking you to Salard de ouyuni in the middle of Bolivia ah you’re going quickly

There and suddenly it’s good it’s the big moment we’re going to leave we’re going to leave the Salard we spent I think 4 or 5 days so it was really it’s really too good as it’s really too much good

Place I think that when we come back in February even if it’s the rainy season we’ll try to go back we’ll see if we can or not you’re sad to leave Salard yeah I

Really hope we go there go back to our turn yeah I I don’t know at all if in peak season it ‘s going to be really full of water and dangerous because there in reality there is water eh look

It’s sitting on the ground in the ass completely wet and even all there in real life it’s all it’s all water there it breaks there we see it clearly there we see it clearly but there is all water and we even

Hear it cracking look listen but come on we’re leaving the Salard for new adventures well we’re leaving the Salard de wyuni reality is coming back with full force look we wanted to refuel in the little station we had already refueled and well in my opinion the gentleman there has more diesel

And there the trucks had been waiting for probably several hours, we then went to wash our valve to remove the layer of grease and the salt which had stuck like mud everywhere under the vehicle then we headed towards the city from sweet good we arrived well to sweet

It’s good we found the little campsite where we are going to spend a few days and this evening so it’s very rare but we got dressed a little bit wait then a little bit dressed for me now that

Means I have I put on pants I didn’t wear flip flops what rineine it’s a little bit dressed up also she even put on makeup and yeah and so what we’re actually going to do it tonight it’s my birthday so we’re going to go to a little restaurant so apparently it’s a

Gastro restaurant there are really only good comments people say that it should have at least one star Michelin I don’t know if there should be Michelin stars here too so the objective ultimately is to eat well because you have to know that I’m coming out of a little

Culinary depression I don’t know if there really is such a term but I think that with the altitude and I had I must have grabbed something and everything so I hadn’t been hungry for several weeks I think

I must have lost I must have lost a few kilos I had already lost a few kilos but now I think I have lost some more so this evening I can tell you that we are going to have fun there

Are how many dishes this evening six normally it’s six dishes so it’s a real gastro all the same and indeed it was excellent so unfortunately the light in the restaurant plus the green tablecloth really doesn’t do homage to the dish in the video but honestly it’s probably

The best restaurant we’ve been to in 18 months on the road how did you find it was super beautiful and so how much did it cost us with the TIPS plus we took two bottles of water plus it was

€60 for two with the tip included yeah and with two bottles of water because I took extra water knowing that honestly I think that in France because there were drinks included I think that in France it is minimum 80 € per person so 160 € for two so here we pay 60 €

For what we have just eaten everything we have just eaten is still really cheap and really excellent so super great address that you will add to our super 4 patréon there you go if you want to know what the restaurant was I will put the name of the restaurant

But really excellent the next day we hit the road again to do something that we have been waiting for several weeks but you will see that in the next episode thank you for watching n Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a comment and see you in the next video Ciao
