Kostely v Salar de Uyuni

Historic Andean Chapels

These historic adobe chapels and colonial-era churches stand in the remote Aymara villages surrounding the Salar de Uyuni and the base of the Tunupa Volcano. Characterized by traditional whitewashed walls and high-altitude construction techniques, these spiritual landmarks reflect the syncretism of Catholic traditions and Andean beliefs. Many feature original colonial architecture, providing insight into the religious heritage and communal life of the Potosí Highlands' remote settlements.
