Siloli

The Siloli Desert contains numerous sandstone formations shaped by strong winds, including the 7-meter-tall Stone Tree standing against the barren landscape.

Natural forces have carved these sandstone structures over millions of years through continuous erosion by sand-carrying winds in the high-altitude environment.

Local guides share their knowledge about different rock formations in the reserve, naming them after recognizable shapes such as the World Cup trophy.

Visitors need proper altitude adjustment before exploring the site at 4500 meters, and guided tours operate regularly from nearby Uyuni salt flats.

The geological structures maintain their precarious balance despite constant wind exposure, demonstrating the specific combination of rock density and erosion patterns.
