Uyuni Salt Flat - The stunning Uyuni salt flats are the largest in the world, situated in the Department of Potosi in Southwest Bolivia at an elevation of 3,650 meters.
Approximately 40,000 years ago, this area was part of Lake Minchin, a vast prehistoric lake. As the lake dried, it left behind two modern lakes, Poopó and Uru Uru, and two major salt deserts: Salar de Coipasa and the larger Salar de Uyuni. The Uyuni Salt Flats are about 25 times larger than the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States!
