來了Uyuni 兩次,當初以為只能跟團才能看鹽湖,所以去年一月第一次來時便是跟一個從智利 San Pedro de Atacama 到 Uyuni的三天團。但在 Salar de Uyuni 時卻驚見有巴士穿過鹽沼,所以當我再來這裡時,便決定自行找這輛巴士去鹽湖看日落日出和滿天的恆河星數。
If you want to spend a night in the center of Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat of the world, and enjoy the sunset, sunrise and the starry sky in this amazing place on your own, you should go to Isla Incahuasi without a tour.
地點:
Isla Incahuasi(Incahuasi=Inca House)位於 Salar de Uyuni 中間,是唯一一個有基本設備和有巴士到達的小島,我就是在這裡渡過一晚。
Location:
Isla Incahuasi is located in the middle of the Salar. It’s the only island with some basic infrastructure and can be accessed by public bus.
行程:
先遊覽島上長滿了的千年仙人掌,然後爬上島的頂端看四周像雪般白的鹽湖等待日落。由於月亮的光芒,這時還沒有看到很多的星星,再加上晚上風大, 既冷且不利拍照,便回去先休息和睡覺。大約五點便再起床往鹽湖看滿天星宿,這時風已停,月亮也已退去,萬籟俱寂,只得滿天繁星和我們。看過星星後便差不多是日出之時,這時便再次爬上山頂看日出。
(島上的行山徑有清晰標示, 難度低, 大約10分鐘便可到頂。)
What you can do:
See the gigantic cactus, go to the top for the sunset, walk around the island under the moonlight, see the starry sky and go to the top again for the sunrise.
如何前往:
在 Uyuni 的巴士總站找 Trans Tours Asuncion 巴士公司開往 Llica 的巴士,每天12:00一班,星期五至日加多下午5時一班,票價25bs。跟司機說要在 Isla Incahuasi 下車,車程大約一個半小時。
How to go:
Get a bus of Trans Tours Asuncion to Llica from Uyuni bus terminal, bus leaves at 12pm everyday, get off at Isla Incahuasi. Duration: 1.5hrs, Price: 25bs
入場費:
到 Incahuasi 後先到登記處付 30bs 的入場費,費用包括無限次使用島上的洗手間。
Entrance:
30bs, pay at the Registration, the price including the use of the toilet in the island.
住宿:
嚴格來說島上沒有任何旅館,你可以
1) 露營!島後方有洞穴可以遮風擋雨,紥營良地,步行大約10分鐘;
2) 向島上的工作人員查詢可否提供房間借宿一宵,不過這視乎有否空置房間及員工們是否願意幫忙。雖然有齊露營用具,不過最後還是選擇借宿一宵,在一間半辦公室半雜物房過一晚,房間有床褥及毛毯,價錢每人30bs。
留意:
– 島上只於晚上6-9時供電,要叉電請把握時間
– Uyuni 晚上氣溫低至零度以下,請帶備禦寒衣物,有睡袋就更好
Accommodation:
1) Camping. There are some caves on the eastern side of the island. Around 10mins walk from the registration;
2) Rent a room from the staff, depending on availability and the willingness of the staff. 30bs p.p, including mattress and blankets (Eletricity is only available between 6-9pm).
食物:
除自備糧水外,島上也有餐廳及士多,價錢當然比 Uyuni 較貴,但可接受。
Food:
BYO food but there is also a cafeteria and a small shop on the island. A bit more expensive than in Uyuni but is acceptable.
如何離開:
1) 回 Uyuni:巴士會於每天大約中午12點經過 Incahuasi。
2) 往 Llica:若然你想體驗一下玻利維亞山中小鎮樸素簡泊的生活,可以像我們一樣前往 Llica,巴士會於每天大約下午1:30經過 Incahuasi,車程大約一個半小時,票價20bs。到 Llica 後可以再坐巴士前往 Oruro,逢星期一三四五日,下午五點開車,票價50bs。
How to leave:
1) To Uyuni: Bus will pass by at around 12pm everyday.
2) To Llica: Bus will pass by at around 1:30pm everyday, price: 20bs. You can catch a bus to Oruro from Llica for 50bs, bus leaves every Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri and Sun at 5pm.
全程洗費:
兩天一夜,全包,每人120bs。
Expenses:
Around 120bs pp all inclusive.
加遊火車墓園
在 Uyuni 火車站沿火車軌向西行大約20分鐘便到,免入場費。
If you want to go to Train Cemetery
Walk westward along the rail from the Uyuni train station for about 20mins. Free entrance.
留意事項:
1) 雨季:每年1-3月,要看水影的話最好不要遲過3月中來。
2) 水影:由於我是3月尾來,所以在 Incahuasi 看不到任何水影。不過若然幸運的話,在 Colchani 還是有機會看水影。前往方法一樣,只是要跟司機說要在鹽沼入口近紀念碑(la memoria)和鹽田下車,車程大約30分鐘。回程就步行約5公里回Colchani。
3) 預留時間:在這裡因天氣,政治因素,遇上抗議,交通事故而封路,或巴士班次取消/延誤是平常事,所以一定要預留時間以備交通接駁。
Others:
If you only want to visit the Salar without spending a night there, you can go to Colchani by bus (about 30mins, price: 10bs) and walk to the Salar (aprox. 5km). Or if you get a bus to Llica, you can get off at La Memoria and the salt-mining area near Colchani and walk back to Colchani after.
