Salar de Uyuni

Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, located in Bolivia’s Andes Mountains. Covering about 10,500 square kilometers, it was formed from prehistoric lakes that evaporated, leaving behind a vast crust of salt. During the rainy season, it becomes a giant mirror reflecting the sky, creating stunning visual effects. The area is rich in lithium, a mineral vital for batteries, making it economically significant. The surreal landscape attracts tourists and photographers worldwide, offering otherworldly views and unique experiences. Despite its stark appearance, Salar de Uyuni is a natural marvel combining geological history, mineral wealth, and breathtaking scenery.
