In 1899 the first railway line in the country was laid there, which linked Uyuni with Antofagasta and was used to transport minerals such as tin, silver and even gold. The potential of the silver mines of Huanchaca meant that the railway soon became the backbone of industrial development. 2 Colchani The city of Colchani, 23 km.
