Iguazú falls to Uyuni (Bolivia)
I think, it's topic #1000 about this trip, but i dont find information.
I plan to go to Uyuni and Iguazú.
Airplane fee is too expensive for me.
So instead, I would to like to take a bus from Iguazú to Uyuni.
But, there's not much information in the internet.
So please tell me how to go to by bus.
How much would it cost?
P.S. I can't speak Spanish.

While I have not done this myself, I suppose you can make your way to Salta and north towards the Bolivian border and continue from there. You could also probably go through Brazil, but depending on your nationality, may require a visa. Either way, it will be a lot of travel.

It is relatively simple to do that trip by bus. It just takes a very, very long time. We did something very similar in the opposite direction a few years ago.
Info on argentine buses can be found on http://www.plataforma10.com/ar . From memory it takes us around 27 hours from iguazu to Salta. Fares are on the site.
From salta you would need to get a bus to La Quiaca on the border via Juy Juy ( allow 6-8 hours). I think around $10 US
From La Quiaca you need to walk across the bridge via the two immigration posts to the Bolivian town of Villazon.
In Villazon you can get taxis or collectivos to Tupiza (1.5 hours) not sure of the cost but not expensive. Once in Tupiza it is very easy to join a tour to Uyuni which will drop you off there or return you to Tupiza. There are good bus or train connection to elsewhere in Bolivia or even Chile.
You are not going to find a bus that goes direct from Iguazu to Uyuni ( or. Plane for that matter!)
You would be passing through some amazing places so, if you have the time, spend some stopping along the way.
