Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat, spanning over 10,000 square kilometers. Formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes, it is covered by a thick crust of salt that is exceptionally flat, with variations in altitude within just a meter over its entire surface. During the rainy season, a thin layer of water transforms it into a giant mirror, creating surreal and breathtaking reflections of the sky. The salt flat is also rich in lithium, containing a significant portion of the world’s reserves.
