Salar de Uyuni – Bolivian Salt Lake and islands
The Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is perhaps one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. A magnificent area with an impressive Salt Desert (the world’s largest), active volcanoes, tall cacti islands and geyser flats, it exists like an alien mirage, something completely out-of-this-world…

Without any reference points the sky meets the salt and creates an odd illusion that objects in the flats are flying. I had never seen anything like it… The truck drove through the salt flats and stopped at an island full of cacti. We had lunch on a table made of a large salt tablet and eventually stopped at a hotel made completely of salt.” – here the salts are gathered…
