The world's largest salt flat sits at a lofty 3653m (11,985ft) and
blankets an amazing 12,000 sq km (4633 sq mi). It was part of a
prehistoric salt lake, Lago Minchín, which once covered most of
southwest Bolivia. When it dried up, it left a couple of seasonal
puddles and several salt pans, including the Salar de Uyuni. The savage
beauty of this vast salt desert makes it one of South America's most
awe-inspiring spectacles.
From strange islands in a sea of
blindingly bright salt to delicately colored mineral lakes in the Andean
mountains, this is an unforgettable Bolivian landscape.
However,
travellers should take great care in choosing which tour operator to go
with when visiting the salt flats. Fatal accidents due to unsafe
vehicles and drivers are not unheard of. Make sure your vehicles have
seatbelts, emergency radio transmitters and first aid equipment, and
don't shy from asking about guides' levels of training and experience.
Of course, there are also many reputable tour operators in the area who
will ensure your experience of this natural wonder is both memorable and
safe.
