Another Alternative West of Colchani

There is now (Nov 08) another alternative to staying in Uyuni. Lonely Planet in Apr 04 said that the two old salt hotels out west of Colchani on the Salar were being deconstructed and relocated near Colchani. I know the Hotel Playa Blanca was still there in May 06, so maybe they just moved the Palacio del Sal. When we went from Jirira to Colchani in May 06, they were building a new, large salt hotel on the edge of the Salar north of Colchani. The new salt hotel had not opened yet. I only saw it from a distance but the construction seemed pretty far along. I found a website for Palacio del Sal that I think must be the new hotel. There are definitely reviews now for this hotel and they are good. Just realize that it is in the middle of nowhere. Another problem would be getting there if you arrive on the 10:50 PM train in Uyuni but maybe they will run a shuttle. One review said the llama steaks were good at the hotel. It's a good thing because the nearest restaurant is in Colchani.

Unique Quality: Everything is made of salt blocks.

A hotel made of salt

I did not stay in this hotel but it merits to be mentioned, of course. I did not pass the night in Uyuni or surroundings but took the night bus to Potosi

Unique Quality: Almost everything in this hotel is made of salt.

a bed of salt

This unique hotel is situated in Colchani, right in the middle of the Salar de Uyuni, the vast salt flats that give the area its name.

Unique Quality: You can't get more unique than this, everything here is made of salt! That's right, tables, chairs, you name it. Yeah, even the beds. Well, they do put soft mattresses on them and real warm blankets.

a building made of salt

the whol hotel is built out of salt, that means the walls, the tables, beds, chairs etc are all cut out of salt. For this epecial experience you pay your special price...we diecided to have jsut a look from outside, enough to have an idea, besides we didn´t have the time to stay longer.
