Salar de Uyuni
Just across the border from Chile is southwest Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni. It is 11,995 feet (3,656 m) above sea level and is part of the Altiplano Plateau.
More about Salar de Uyuni
This salt flat is the largest in the world and is a chilling, memorable landscape. Uyuni is what is left over from several huge prehistoric lakes. Besides salt, this unusual landscape also has a store of lithium, although there are no mining operations currently in place.
You’ll see more on a trip to Uyuni than just salt. Within the salt flats, you can see the Incahuasi Island, a cluster of giant cacti. This is a strange formation that covers 61 acres (24 ha). Beyond the flats, you can visit lagunas and geysers.
