Extending over 4,000 miles of thick salt crust left behind by prehistoric lakes that dried centuries ago, Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is one of the world’s most unique and unusual wonders.
During the rainy season, when nearby lakes overflow, a thin layer of water transforms Salar de Uyuni’s surface into a glittering canvas that reflects the sky. In the dry season, the terrain hardens and forms quilted patterns on the ground. At nighttime, the star-studded sky taints the endless flats with a supernatural shade of blue.
