Bolivia is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular places in the world, from its privileged geography to its vast cultural wealth. Its extension allows it to have all types of climates and ecosystems, which in some cases are unique, such as the Salar de Uyuni, the largest and highest salt desert in the world. Despite being located more than 3,500 meters above sea level, it is an accessible place for tourism, being one of the greatest attractions of the South American country.

The world's largest salt flat lies at an elevation of 3,653m (11,985 ft) and covers an incredible 12,000 square km (4,633 sq mi). It was part of a prehistoric salt lake, Lake Minchín, which once covered most of southwestern Bolivia. When it dried, it left a couple of seasonal puddles and several salt flats, including the Salar de Uyuni. The wild beauty of this vast salt desert makes it one of the most impressive spectacles in South America.
