Salt may be commonplace, but the Salt Flats of Bolivia are anything but that! They are so huge that satellites can clearly identify them, the world’s largest salt flats, from space. From November to March, the rainy season, water overflows nearby lakes, eventually reaching the flats. The water covers the salt with a layer of water, creating a mirror. Some say it is hard to tell where the sky ends and the land begins during this time of year. In fact the flats have been nicknamed “The Mirror of the Sky.”
Just two islands are located on the flats. Isla Incahuasi hosts giant cacti that can reach 10 meters in height, and Isla del Pescado boasts a prime place to watch the sunrise
