Salar Trek II (2016)

Objectives

Attempt the world first unsupported crossing the both Salar de Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni.
Why both Salars? Because they are brothers coming from the same ancient lake Minchin. The was made without a desert cart.
Try to learn and determine a drinking pattern to survive this desert while walking.
The chosen route is about 250 km long. It starts from Sabaya, goes South across the small mountain range, then heads to Isla del Pescado then Isla Incahuasi and finishes in the town of Uyuni without passing via Colchani.
