Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Bolivia has the world’s largest natural salt flat with the name of Salar de Uyuni. A salt flat, also called salt pan, is a flat ground which is covered with salt and many other minerals. These salt flats are mostly formed when water that carries along salt evaporate. Salar de Uyuni covers more than 4,000 square miles of land. The salt flat has the thickness between 7 to 66 feet in most of the regions. Due to the high amount of salt and very flat surface the sun rays can become magnified in this region. People have to cover their eye with sunglasses to protect their eyes from harm.
