1) Colonial ruins of san antonio
Ghost town:
According to legend, here lives the Diablo. Every day, he counts the sand. When he finishes counting sand, the world will end. Luckily, every night, the sand he counts will blow back to the same place, so our world wont be ending any time soon (until the Diablo develop some electronic sand counting technology).
Also according to legend, the people who lives here goes mad. Salt Flat Tour, San Antonio, Potosi Department, Bolivia, South America, Salar de Uyuni Day 2
