Salar de Uyuni of
Bolivia is often dubbed the “Mirror of the Sky.”
It is so boundless and
bright white that Neil Armstrong is said to have mistaken it for an
enormous glacier seen from space.
Dotted with volcanic isles and
home to curious wildlife, the huge salt flats boast otherworldly
landscape and a mesmerizing experience. A total area of 10,582 square kilometers
makes it the world's largest salt flat. During the raining seasons (January-February), the thin
layer of water transforms the flats into a dazzling reflection of the
sky. On top of that, it also contains 50-70 percent of the world's known
lithium reserves.
