Salar De Uyuni also known
as Heaven on Earth, is located in Southwest Bolivia.
Enigmatic, surprising, unique,
these words describe Uyuni completely. A magical place covered with salt and
silence is one of the world’s most beautiful place on Earth.
It is believed that the Salar was formed when a prehistoric lake
dried up leaving the salty crust behind and since then, whenever it rains it
forms the largest mirror of world. Tourists come here more often during the
rainy season to experience the giant mirror’s reflection formed with salt and
water.
Immensity of this white desert, the shades and twilight awaken
intense sensations that attracts tourists every year. Bollywood must look
into it, as it can be a great location for romantic shoots
This 10,500 sq. km salt plain, located 3600m above sea
level is legendary. It forms beautiful landscapes and here, it is difficult to
distinguish land from sky.
