#salar de uyuni
Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the largest salt flat on earth, over ten thousand square kilometres. The surface is a thick crust that developed over an ancient salt lake. During the rainy season the flat is flooded with a thin film of water that turns it into a massive mirror.

Uyuni Salt Flats (Salar de Uyuni)
Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat. It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desert of nearly 11,000 square kilometres. It is at an elevation of 3,656 meters above sea level therefore it gets VERY cold at night! In the height of summer it can reach as low as -25 degrees. Luckily we came prepared with lots of firewood, marshmallows and beer/wine!
Driving through the salt flats felt like being on another planet, just an open expanse of flat white salt and no limitations on where to explore! It was an amazingly beautiful place.
