The Uyuni Dry Salt Lake
Spreading over 12.00 square kilometers, it is considered to be the world-s largest salt flat. With the mountains and the sky as its only frontiers, images suspended by solar radiation, mirages and optical illusions caused by crystallization on the ground and other amazing phenomena can be seen. Within the lake, there are virgin uninhabited islands that are the habitat of immense cacti and strange flowers.
