Salar de Uyuni

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.
