Salar de Uyuni - the border between Heaven and Earth

Amazing, isnt't it?!!! This is the world's largest salt flat at 10,528 square kilometers. Located about 12,000ft about sea level in south Bolivia near the crest of the Andes. It was once a giant inland salt water lake but after the water vanished into the thin dry air of Andean altitude, all that remains is the salt. Tens of meters thick, lying beneath the bright sky: a sun bleached skeleton of a dead sea. During the rainy season the water turns this place into the worlds largest mirror. The mirages from the sky's reflection create a sense of  infinity and walking among clouds!!!
