天空之镜——乌尤尼盐沼 The Spectacular Sea of Salt - Uyuni Salt Flat(2)

  Where to stay though? It would be silly not to take advantage of the 17)hospitality of the local hotel, which is completely made of salt. Likewise for the furniture inside. You can even picnic if you want. Of course, be prepared for your picnic table to be made of salt, too. Surprise!
  该在哪里住宿呢?如果不享受一下当地旅馆的热情好客,似乎就不太明智了——它全都是用盐建成的,旅馆内的家具也不例外。如果你愿意的话,甚至可以去野餐。当然了,你要有心理准备哦,野餐桌也是盐制的。惊喜吧!

  Uyuni also 18)boasts a train 19)cemetery which is full of the 20)rusting shells of trains from the past. How did they end up here? Uyuni is an important transport 21)hub in Bolivia with four train lines connecting in the town. It must have seemed the logical place to abandon the trains which were no longer needed. It perfectly adds to the strangeness of the place.
  乌尤尼还有一个著名的火车墓地,那里满是老式火车锈迹斑斑的外壳。它们怎么会来到这里呢?原来乌尤尼是玻利维亚重要的运输中心,有四条火车线路连接着这个城镇。它似乎成了丢弃废置火车的理想之地。这也为此地的奇异风光添上了完美的一笔。

  Of course, the main reason people come here is to see the spectacular salt flat. Although the pictures are amazing, imagine how 22)jaw-dropping this place must be with your own eyes.
  当然了,人们来到此地主要还是为了观看那片壮观的盐沼。虽然照片令人称奇,但想想当你亲眼看到这片奇景时会是多么目瞪口呆吧。

  Highlights of the Tour   旅程精华

  Fish Island   鱼岛

Fish Island 鱼岛  Fish Island is located 74 kilometers from Colchani, right in the middle of the salt mines. It has a total area of 100 23)hectares and very 24)picturesque 25)scenery.
  鱼岛距离科尔查尼镇74公里,正好在盐矿的中心。它的总面积达100公顷,风景如画。

  The layer of 26)granite and 27)organic materials have produced a strange 28)breed of giant 29)cactus (six meters in height), which has developed an interesting 30)ecological system.
  花岗岩层和有机物质为独特的巨型仙人掌(高达6米)的繁育提供了条件,使其发展成一个奇特的生态系统。

  On the island's 31)summit there is a cave. The internal walls of the cave present a 32)geological cut that provides information on the various layers of the ground. This is perhaps one of the best places to take wonderful pictures of the island and the salt mines as well.
  在小岛的最高点有一个洞穴。洞穴的内壁上有一个地质切口,提供了关于地面各种地层的信息。这里也许是为这个小岛以及盐矿拍下精彩照片的最佳取景地之一。

  Fishermen's Island   渔夫岛

Fishermen's Island 渔夫岛  The Fishermen's Island is formed on top of the remains of a volcano 120 meters above the surface of the salt mines.
  渔夫岛形成于一座火山遗址的顶部,比盐矿的表面要高出120米。

  On this island there are seven 33)archaeological sites that belong to the Tiwanaku注 culture. There are two Incan ruins, 30 34)caverns, 12 natural tunnels and one forest of cactuses.
  在这座小岛上,有七处蒂瓦纳库文化的考古遗址,还有两处印加人遗迹、30个大洞穴、12个天然地道和一片仙人掌林。

  Best Visiting Time   最佳旅行时间

  The Uyuni Salt Flat can be visited all year long—even though the majority of the tour operators in the area strongly recommend the dry season of the year between April and October.
  一年四季都可以去乌尤尼盐沼旅行——虽然大多数当地旅游公司都强烈推荐游客在四月至十月的旱季期间前来游玩。

  Rainy Season (November to March)
  雨季(十一月至三月)

Rainy Season 雨季  During the rainy season, the Uyuni Salt Flat is covered by about 20cm of water. As a result, it becomes a huge mirror reflecting the sky. Without a doubt this is an amazing landscape worth being appreciated and photographed. Another advantage of a visit during the rainy season is the presence of at least 25,000 pink flamingos and other birds at the Colored 35)Lagoon. The disadvantage of traveling during the rainy season is that the Galaxies Cave and Fish Island are covered by water, making it impossible to visit these attractions.
  在雨季期间,乌尤尼盐沼上覆盖着大约20厘米深的水。因此,它会变成一块倒映着天空的巨大镜子。毫无疑问,这是一幅值得欣赏和拍摄的奇特美景。在雨季前来观光的另一个好处就是可以在七彩湖看见至少25000只粉红色的火烈鸟和其他鸟类;而坏处就是加里克斯洞穴和鱼岛都被水所覆盖,无法前往这些景点观光。

  Dry Season (April to October)
  旱季(四月至十月)

  The dry season is the most recommended period for a visit to the Uyuni Salt Flat. The 36)octagonal salt formations can be appreciated in full and all the attractions of the area can be visited. June and July are considered to be the high season.
  旱季是最被推崇的盐沼游览时节。你不仅能够充分欣赏到盐沼表面(裂成)八边形的形态,还能游玩这一地区的所有景点。六月和七月通常是旅游高峰季节。
