This rather unique section of land is the world’s largest salt flat – spanning out over ten thousand square kilometres in the south-western section of Bolivia. Owing to the unrivalled construct of the lie of the land, this spot is unsurprisingly an area which sees many budding photographers flock to get picturesque images.

During the dry season the area is completely flat, with pure white salt spanning out as far as the eye can see. When it’s wet, it’s still possible to drive over – but will be topped by an ankle-thin layer of water. Some argue the flats are actually more beautiful in the wet season as a result of the shimmering glow that’s given off by the water.

The surrounding areas are made significantly more colourful as a result of the flats’ presence, with differing levels of salt (which runoff from local mountains) producing a wide array of coloured lakes. Most of these appear as fluorescent in the daytime.

The flats are without question worth seeing – simply because it’s highly unlikely you’ll find such an individual scene anywhere else in the world.
