Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat — 10,582km² of white salt crystal desert at 3,656m in the heart of the Andes. In the rainy season, 1–10cm of water on the surface turns the flat into a perfect mirror where the sky reflects and the world disappears. Cactus Island and sunrise on the salt flat are travellers' most unforgettable moments.
