  • Bolivian Salt Flats & Andean Culture
    B O L I V I A UYUNI HIGHLANDS EXPLORER Essential Bolivian Salt Flats & Andean Culture DURATION: 10 days / 9 nights SEASON: May through November DEPARTURES: Guaranteed with a minimum of 4 and maximum of 12 participants TRIP RATING: Easy/Moderate Natural history, Cultural & Archaeological Tour, Grade (II) – This expedition style soft adventure is an activity-oriented program. It includes scenic overland travel up to 7 hours on a day, walking tours and day hikes of 2-3 hours. It takes place at high elevations reaching a maximum of 13,420’ at Potosi. To allow for gradual adjustment to the altitude, we begin the program touring Sucre (9,215’) 2021 DATES : On request any week during the season for a minimum of 4 travelers INTRODUCTION: Bolivia, one of South America’s most colorful, natural and insulated nations, captures the imagination of adventure travelers. It comprises the most intact indigenous culture on the continent, with dozens of native languages still spoken alongside Spanish. Bolivia is home to the world’s most high-altitude capital city, La Paz (11,930' feet above sea level!). World-famous Salar de Uyuni – the planet’s biggest salt flat – has become an iconic landscape, with its vast otherworldly whiteness. Visitors who venture into landlocked Bolivia are warmly received in its pleasant Spanish- colonial cities. The history-rich mining town of Potosi and vibrant local markets give a snapshot of traditional Andean life. A visit to the mythical Lake Titicaca, a crown jewel of the region, completes the Bolivian highland experience. Accompanied by an expert local guide, we begin in Sucre, Bolivia (9,215’), where we walk the cobbled streets of the city’s colonial section, visit other historical monuments and tour the colorful native market at Tarabuco.

  • 48 PORCO El Análisis Del Municipio De Porco Permite Delimitar
    Diagnóstico Integrado de la Mancomunidad Gran Potosí PORCO El análisis del municipio de Porco permite delimitar unidades fisiográficas, que se subdividen en: Gran Paisaje, Paisaje y sub Paisaje, formando procesos de cadena de montañas y depresiones. GRAN PAISAJE A nivel fisiográfico corresponde un solo grupo geomorfológico que es la cordillera Oriental. PAISAJE Fisiográficamente es donde se diferencian las características más importantes de la zona en relación al suelo, la geomorfología del material parental que se encuentra distribuido en el área, de acuerdo a su distribución natural, presenta: • Serranías • Colinas • Pie de Monte • Llanuras o Altiplanicies • Lechos de ríos y Arroyos SUB PAISAJE A este nivel fisiográfico se considera mayor cantidad de criterios diferenciadores, teniendo como unidades fundamentales: • Sucesión de serranías altas • Sucesión de serranías bajas • Sucesión de colinas • Colinas aisladas • Pie de monte dentado • Pie de monte no dentado • Terrazas • Coluvio aluviales • Aluviales 48 Capítulo I Aspectos Físicos y Espaciales A.2.1.3. Topografía POTOSÍ El municipio se encuentra ubicado en dos zonas de vida: Estepa Montano Sub Tropical y Bosque Húmedo Montano Templado, donde predominan rocas volcánicas y sedimentarias, con topografía muy accidentada. Siendo así, la topografía está constituida por un paisaje de colinas de diferente altitud, alternado por cañones y quebradas; en escasa proporción se observan mesetas y planicies intermedias. YOCALLA En Yocalla, la topografía se caracteriza por presentar pequeñas laderas en pendientes de mesetas muy altas con presencia de montañas moderadamente altas de cimas agudas, pendientes largas, moderadamente disociadas, interrumpidas por planicies. También se observa la presencia acentuada de profundas quebradas y ríos que son afluentes del Pilcomayo, caracterizando la topografía irregular del municipio.

  • “Mineral Extraction in a Plurinational State: Commodification and Resource Governance in the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia”
    “Mineral Extraction in a Plurinational State: Commodification and Resource Governance in the Uyuni salt flat in Bolivia” Maria Daniela Sánchez-López 2017 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the University of East Anglia School of International Development This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution ABSTRACT The Uyuni salt flat (Salar de Uyuni) is located in the Bolivian high Andean plateau, is considered to be the largest salt flat on earth and a natural wonder. Concentrated in its brines, is the largest lithium deposit in the world, along with important reserves of potassium, magnesium and ulexite, collectively known as ‘evaporite resources’. Over the past 40 years, this landscape has been commodified and radically transformed in a continuous process of mining capitalist expansion. What is unfolding in the case of the Uyuni salt flat, however, is not just an economically- driven process of capitalist expansion, but also a transformation of the landscape linked to the value and symbolic meanings attached to the salt flat in an ongoing process of the neoliberalisation of nature. This thesis seeks to examine how social relations in terms of the material, discursive and cultural dynamics of evaporite mining shape and are shaped by governance frameworks. Based on a qualitative exploration, the research has three main objectives: i) to examine how and under what conditions the Uyuni salt flat has been commodified over the past 40 years (both under a neoliberal and post-neoliberal regime); ii) to analyse how lithium has exacerbated the territorial disputes and resource conflicts at local, departmental and national levels; and iii) to evaluate how and why territory and territoriality emerge as key elements within the process of commodification.
