La Bolivia è un paese dell'America centrale del Sud
Il Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia è la più grande salina del mondo, con una superficie di oltre 10.000 chilometri quadrati. La crosta di sale si è formata oltre 10.000 anni fa, quando il paleolago Tauca si è prosciugato.
From San Pedro de Atacama, we set off on a multi-day tour through the Valle de la Luna in the nearby Los Flamencos National Reserve. Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, we cross the border into Bolivia and drive through the world's largest salt flat, the Salar de Uyuni, to Uyuni.
The Salar de Uyuni in the Andes, in the southwest of Bolivia, is the world's largest salt flat. It was once the site of a prehistoric lake, which dried up and left behind a desert-like landscape. The almost 11,000 square kilometer area is characterized by snow-white salt, rock formations and cactus-covered islands.
This lunar landscape appears inhospitable and can be observed from the island of Incahuasi in the center. Although hardly any life is possible in this unique ecosystem, numerous flamingos have settled here.
