This is one of the most beautiful of Bolivia, the largest salt desert in the world (over 12,000 km2 in area!) And lakes of various colors that are the result of the mineral wealth of the area.
The Salar is located in the Department of Potosi at 3,650 meters high in the Altiplano of Bolivia, in the Andes and is a remnant of prehistoric Lake Minchin.
Amid the sea salt, we find giant cacti islands up to 10 m high, among these are the Fish Island and Incahuasi, where we find some animal species characteristic of the area.
Nearby, you can see small ancient communities that maintain a significant archaeological resources and in which time seems to stand still.
Entering the south in the Lipez and REA (Andean Fauna Reserve Eduardo Abaroa), we can see many gaps of different colors in November become the breeding of three species of flamingos. (Phoenicopterus andinus, Phoenicopterus chilensis Phoenicopterus jamesi).
As you walk this privileged destination, the landscape changes, showing the strength of the wind and of the extreme nature of the region. No wonder that NASA is conducting tests of the equipment to be sent to Mars by the similarity has been found in this enclave Bolivia.
