@thechaosdiaries: Stepping into the worlds largest mirror🪞 This magical place is Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the largest salt flats in the world and the most magical place to explore! Visiting during the rainy season (Dec-March) comes with the chance to see this incredible mirror effect where the sky blends seamlessly into the horizon So why is there a salt flat at over 3000m elevation anyways? Originally part of the prehistoric Lake Minchin, which covered most of Southwest Bolivia, formation of the flats began some 40,000 years ago as a result of the Andean uplift. As the high Bolivian Altiplano emerged, Lake Minchin eventually dried up, leaving behind the salt deposits the area is now famed for If you’d like a more magical explanation: there was once a mountain goddess called Tunupa whose husband abandoned her. Heartbroken and distraught, Tunupa cried while breastfeeding her child. The water from her tears and the milk mingled to form the largest salt flat in the world—the Salar de Uyuni. #bolivia #bolivia🇧🇴 #boliviatravel #visitbolivia #explorebolivia #exploresouthamerica #uyunibolivia #salardeuyuni #bolivie #saltflats #wonderoftheworld #salardeuyunitour #salardeuyunibolivia #magicview #discovertheglobe #darlingescape #magicalplaces #traveldreamseekers #openmyworld #darlingescapes
