Bolivia is an amazingly diverse country in every sense of the word. Landlocked and located in the heart of South America. Bolivia culture draws strongly from deep multi-ethnic indigenous roots, centuries of Spanish colonial occupation, the influence of its five neighboring countries, and numerous very diverse foreign immigrant populations.
Natural of Bolivia so beautiful and picturesque, and so various. From harsh and colorful Andes Mountains, places which are not only difficult to get but even impossible, to vast land of valleys and plains, rolling hills and lush rainforest, hot and damp.
One of Bolivia's breathtaking landscapes is The Salar de Uyuni - world's largest salt desert. And it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bolivia. 12 000 square kilometers in extend of white salt. Located at over 3000 meters above sea level, it gets very very cold at night. It is a unique natural creation, remains of disappearing Lake Minchín, which receded forty thousands years ago. The thick of flat salt coverage is at a range from 2 till 8 meters. And during rainy season saline is covered by the layer of water turned into fantastic mirror, where optical illusion dissolves horizon and sky falls to earth.
Lovely place.
