SALT FLAT
SALT FLAT, BOLIVIA
The
Salt Flat, Salar de Uyuni, is the world’s largest salt flat, spanning of over
4,000 sq. miles in south-western Bolivia. What
makes this place unique has to do with the fact that unlike the traditional
deserts which are typically filled with sand, the Salt Flat features very vast stretches
of glistening white salt.
It
came into being as a result of salt water deposits leaked from the surrounding
mountains and since there is no channel to the sea, they were deposited
here, the lowest point of the Altiplano plateau which
in turn formed a giant lake.
The
sun is, however, extremely strong in the Bolivian Altiplano. It turns to become very cold at sun set and therefore, sun shades,gloves, scarfs and hats come highly recommended for such climates.
