info + tips, all you need to know before traveling
Located in the south west region of Bolivia, bordering Chile it is the most beautiful and out of this world desert in South America, if not the planet. With a surface area of 12,000 km2 (4,050 square miles), the salt desert is popularly known as “el SALAR DE UYUNI”, but is also known as el Salar del Tunupa (the tunupa salt desert) or salar de los Lipez by the local communities.
During rainy season (january to march), a thin layer of water transforms the flats into a huge mirror which reflects the sky and where you can get amazing landscape photos, this effect has inspired photographers from around the world to visit the salt desert before it disappears, just kidding, there is approximately about 12 billion tons of salt here, we have salt for a very long time.
