Day 40 – A Different Way to Have Your Head in the Clouds

After a few day of the world’s most incredible mountains, I wanted to talk about another way to get your head in the clouds. If summiting a mountain is not your thing, you might be interested in Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. It’s the world’s largest salt flat, and during the rainy season, a thin layer of water develops on the salty flat reflecting the sky above. Basically, it turns into a giant mirror! Although you’re not “literally” in the clouds, the mirror effect makes it look like you are!

Quite honestly, this place looks incredible. Out of all the natural wonders I’ve looked at so far, this one might be the one I want to see the most. And, if we’re talking about nature’s “art,” it’s hard to imagine many things more beautiful than a view like this:



Can you imagine a painting like that?!?

Here are few more pictures of this amazing location:





Another fun fact- Salar de Uyuni is a major breeding ground for several species of pink flamingos.
