Flattest place on earth

Would you like some salt with that?

Welcome to Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat. At a breathtaking altitude of 3600m on average (that is almost 12,000 ft!), it’s a wonder that this place is also one of the FLATTEST PLACES ON EARTH! Uyuni is so very flat that satellites use it to calibrate their terrain sensitivity.

The landscape looks so other worldly. In case you didn’t realize, that is not snow – it’s salt. The flattest place on earth surrounded by several volcanoes and then the driest place on earth (the Atacama desert). What other titles is Uyuni going to win?

It’s a place worth visiting and you can even stay in a hotel made entirely of salt! Now that’s something else!
