Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, at 10,582 square kilometers. It is in southwest Bolivia, and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters above sea level. Salar de Uyuni has two distinct seasons. During the dry season (May to November) temperatures are colder, the ground has ... hardened, and travelers can drive across the stark white landscape to places that aren’t accessible in the rainy season (like as Cactus Island/ Isla Incahuasi or Fish Island/ Isla del Pescado). This is the time for taking perspective photos. Tour operators consider June through August as their high period, and rates may rise accordingly. However, for me, the rainy season (December to April) is the time to come. When the Salar is covered with a thin layer of rainwater it becomes the largest natural mirror in the world reflecting the sky above. The reflection of the water results in the stunning illusion of "walking in the sky". It is just amazing. This is the time for taking stunning reflection photos. However arranging the ideal time to find “a thin layer of rainwater” over Salar de Uyuni can be tricky. Even in the rainy season the number of rainy days is below 5 per month. On contrary, with too much water the mirror effect is gone. It is advisable to come in the summer (December, January, February) and stay for a while. More information Also don't miss!!!
