SALAR DE UYUNI: Where the sky and earth meet

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is one of the rare landscapes on planet Earth where you can feel as if you are in a completely different part of the universe.

Salar de Uyuni is not only the largest salt flat in the world, but also one of the largest and most accurate mirrors in the world. Due to its vast plain and ground level, when rain falls here, the entire area becomes a giant mirror reflecting the sky, writes the portal pixelizam.com

This place covers more than 12,000 square kilometers, making it the largest salt flat in the world. Salar de Uyuni is about 40,000 years old, and at this location there was once a large lake, Minchin. Over time, the lake dried up, and two lakes, Uru Uru and Poopó, still remain nearby.
 
According to some estimates, there are about 10 billion tons of salt here, and each year people take about 25,000 tons. 
 
Salar de Uyuni is just one in a series of incredible and surreal landscapes on our beautiful planet.
