The Train Cemetery in Uyuni, Bolivia, is a surreal and photogenic collection of abandoned locomotives and railcars from the early 20th century, remnants of a failed project to create a major transportation hub. Located on the outskirts of Uyuni, it's a popular stop for tours visiting the Salar de Uyuni (salt flats). The high altitude and harsh desert climate contribute to its unique atmosphere. Accessibility can be challenging due to the rough terrain, and while it's possible to visit independently, a guided tour is highly recommended for transportation and historical context. There are no significant seasonal restrictions, but the dry season (May-October) generally offers better weather. The visit typically lasts 1-2 hours, and the cost is usually included in the Salar de Uyuni tour price, though there might be a small entrance fee.
