Train Cemetery
The Uyuni Train Cemetery is one of the most unique and fascinating tourist sites in Bolivia. Located on the outskirts of the small town of Uyuni. The Train Cemetery has its roots in the golden era of Bolivian railroads in the late 19th century and early 20th century. During this period, Bolivia experienced an economic boom driven by the export of minerals such as tin and silver. Railroads were instrumental in transporting these resources from mines in the country's interior to seaports on the Pacific coast. Uyuni, due to its strategic location, became an important railway center. However, over time, the Bolivian mining industry began to decline, and the railway infrastructure became obsolete. Trains and locomotives that were once the beating heart of commerce and industry were left abandoned in the desert. This is how the Uyuni Train Cemetery was born.
