Located in Bolivia, Salar De Uyuni, otherwise known as the Salt Flats, is one of the largest worldly deposits of lithium, a key component of most batteries. However, it is the naturally occurring reflection, which is a consequence of evaporated prehistoric waters that caused a combination of stretching salt land deposits, a thin layer of water (December to April), and sunlight, bringing spectators from worldwide. Combined elements make for a reflection akin to a mirror, making it nearly impossible to distinguish the horizon. This creates a truly magnificent sky-to ground reflection. Famous for unique photographic opportunities, Salar De Uyuni is a must-see location for all visitors looking for a jaw-dropping, perfect snapshot. If reflective grounds are not enough excitement regarding travel to South America, the following destination just might take potential visitors over the edge.
