Set at the foot of the Tunupa Volcano, the remote village of Jirira is a rural community located in the Department of Potosi on the Bolivian Altiplano. Jirira is based at the northern edge of the otherworldly natural beauty of Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. The village serves as an excellent jumping-off point for those wanting to explore the surreal landscape of the world-renowned salt flat. At the heart of this glimmering white expanse lies the Incahuasi Island, a rocky formation of basalt and regolith covered in giant 700-year-old cacti. Soak up the panoramic views of the chalk-white sea, enjoy a scenic trek up Tunupa Volcano, and view the hamlet's small white colonial-era church.
