Where the Mountains Touch the Sky and Time Stands Still

Best time to visit Salar de Uyuni for minimal rain

Just got back from Bolivia and I'm still thinking about the stunning salt flats at Salar de Uyuni. If you're planning a trip there, I highly recommend checking the weather forecast before you go. I was lucky enough to visit in late April and had perfect blue skies, but I've heard that May and early June can be pretty rainy - not ideal for photography or even just walking on the flats. Does anyone have experience with visiting during these months?
