Atocha Station
Atocha is a mining town wedged into the gorge, on the stretch between Uyuni and Tupiza. It is a shared station: both the Expreso del Sur and the Wara Wara del Sur stop here.
Surrounded by mining hills, Atocha marks the start of the descent towards the canyons of Tupiza. The landscape changes: the Altiplano gives way to gorges and rock formations in warm tones. It is a stop with a mining, Andean flavour.
