Day four began early at 5.30am with a drive across the salt lake to see the sunrise.

 

 

We then hiked on the island of Inca Huasi, covered in 6000 cacti.

It turns out he needed the energy to pump up our back tyre (which ended up being totally flat by the time the tour ended in Uyuni. Number four for the trip!)

We drove to see the mountains of salt before ending our tour in Uyuni.
