Uyuni Salt Flats

in

Uyuni Salt Flats is a vast salt flat region in south western Bolivia, with polygonal crust, seasonal water and isolated islands rising above a high plateau. Mining and local communities remain part of the wider landscape. The relationship between endless white horizons, mirror like floodwater and volcanic islands across the world’s largest salt flat and salt flat gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Four wheel drive journeys provide the main access, while weather and flooding alter routes dramatically. Altitude, cold nights and strong sun require preparation. Spending time with both endless white horizons and mirror like floodwater and volcanic islands across the world’s largest salt flat reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
