Museum sights in Uyuni

  1. A

    Cementerio de Trenes

    Uyuni's only other real tourist attraction is the Cementerio de Trenes, a large collection of historic steam locomotives and rail cars, which are decaying in the yards about 3km southwest of the station along Av Ferroviaria. There have long been plans to turn the collection into a railway museum, but that seems a pipe dream and they'll most likely just keep on rusting. Many tours visit the train cemetery as a first or last stop on the four-day salar circuit.

    The Museo Arqueología y Antropológico de los Andes Meridionales is a small affair featuring mummies, long skulls, fossils, ceramics and textiles. There are Spanish descriptions of the practices of mummification and cranial deformation.
