19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Incahuasi Island

Incahuasi Island is a usual stop for tourists visiting the Uyuni Salt Flats in Potosi, Bolivia. Located in the center of the Salt Flats, it is surrounded by over 10,000 square kilometers (3,900 sq mi) of salt surface. The island contains petrified corals and giant cacti. The picture shows an unusual site of only one vehicle and tracks since the island is highly visited by up to 100-150 vehicles per day. However, the pandemic, local conflicts, and cancelation of flights to the region has deterred the visit of tourists.
