The alien beauty of Salar de Uyuni - the largest salt desert in the world, Bolivia




The alien beauty of Salar de Uyuni - the largest salt desert in the world, Bolivia

Salar de Uyuni is one of the few places on Earth where you can feel like on another planet. The amazing beauty of this place often leads people to think that those pictures are digitally processed and changed, but the fault for those breathtaking views is only the nature.




Salar de Uyuni is a desert, but instead of the traditional abundance of sand, you will see billions of tons of brilliant white salt. When covered with water in the rainy season, Salar de Uyuni is becoming a shallow lake and creates a unique mirror effect that makes the place seems almost unreal. The water depth is only a few centimetres, so everyone can safely walk on the surface.





This amazing creation of nature is located in southern Bolivia and the largest salt desert in the world with an area of slightly more than 10,000 square kilometres. Located on the impressive altitude - 3656 meters, and was formed after the transformation of several prehistoric lakes. Its beauty attracts many tourists. There are various attractions such as a hotel made of salt.
