The salt lake in Bolivia is the best place to capture the reflection of Milky Way. If you want to get a perfect reflection, you need to wait for a moment with no wind and shoot at a low-level angle.
#awesomepic 🦸♂️The legendary mirror of the sky is the Uyuni salt marsh, which is located near the small town of Uyuni in southwestern Bolivia. It is the largest salt marsh in the world. The Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia is the largest salt marsh in the world. The scenery and peaceful surroundings make it a dream place for many travel enthusiasts. Tea card, praised by the donkey friends as the sky of China, compared to Bolivia, the beauty here is more intoxicating green. It's still a quiet place that is rarely touched. As quiet as a virgin, stands quietly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau like a city in the sky. Entering the tea card, your heart will be much quieter.

It is said that Bolivia is a South American Tibet. Indeed, snow-capped mountains, lakes, plateaus, deserts and blue skies are very similar to Ali in Tibet. They are my favorite country in South America, but the vast deserts, magical animals, and primitive Africa. The chartered car went from the Atacama in Chile to the third day before reaching the famous pink lake. The leisurely alpacas in the sun are pacing, and the fiery flamingos in the lake are flying, so harmonious and beautiful. Suddenly, this is the embodiment of true nature. It is recommended that you must charter the backpack to the ultimate route!

Salt Hotel in the Salt Plains
In the heart of the Bolivian Salt Plains is Casa Del Sal which is a hotel made completely out of salt.
Every part of the building has salt built into it including the floors, tables and chairs. The salt doesn’t disintegrate easily so it doesn’t impact the visit and the bedrooms consist of different types. Because of the remote location, a driver would be needed to take you there from the airport in Uyuni
Bolivia: The Shining Pearl of the Andes
Located in the heart of South America, Bolivia is known as the "Pearl of the Andes" for its unique natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. This diverse country is home to one of the world's most stunning natural wonders—the Uyuni Salt Flats, also known as the "Mirror of the Sky." During the rainy season, the salt flats' surface becomes a smooth mirror reflecting the sky, making visitors feel as though they are walking in a dreamlike world.
Across Bolivia's vast highlands, unique animals such as flamingos and alpacas often come into view. Flocks of flamingos dance gracefully in the salt lakes and mountain lagoons, adding vibrancy and color to this pristine land. Alpacas, a symbol of the Andes, are gentle animals that are not only vital to the local economy but also an integral part of Bolivian culture.
Additionally, Bolivia boasts the majestic Andes Mountains, where towering snow-capped peaks and deep gorges create breathtaking scenery. Whether for adventure seekers or nature lovers, this is a land of unparalleled beauty.
Bolivia, nestled in the heart of South America, captivates travelers from around the world with its rich natural landscapes and unique wildlife.
Checking in at an off-the-beaten-path travel destination in Bolivia, where trains are scattered in disarray, with a history spanning over a hundred years
After arriving at the Uyuni train cemetery, it turned out to be an unplanned trip, just waiting to see the perfect mirror of the sky these days, so I had some free time to walk around the area. Strictly speaking, this place is not considered a scenic area, but rather an open space on the outskirts of the city, where many train wrecks are scattered haphazardly on the barren yellow soil. The desert combined with the dilapidated carriages evokes the strong industrial vibe reminiscent of the scenes from the movie 'Mad Max'.
Over the past few centuries, Spanish colonizers plundered a great deal of resources from this land, leaving behind only depression and broken cities. These train wrecks are remnants from that period, and after the resources were exhausted, these trains also lost their value. As the number of tourists increases, these trains have once again caught people's attention and have become a check-in spot for some visitors.
The old trains are covered in graffiti, giving these century-old steel beasts a new 'life' with a very artistic flair. There's nothing else worth playing with in this place, but just these various hundred-year-old trains are enough to keep one occupied for a long time, and I really love this retro industrial vibe.
Uyuni Salt flats, Mirror effect pucture
Uyuni Salt flats in Bolivia, located high in the mountauntains around 3650 high.
very unique place , have a few salt hotels, where everything is made from salt. depending o the weather you can experience star glazing, mirror pictures . January to March they have some raining seasons. Recomend some time for acclimatization in the mountains#Uyuni Uyuni, Bolivia
Dream Destination, the Uyuni Salt Flats!
Bolivia's 'Uyuni Salt Flats' is often cited as a lifetime travel destination! I felt the same way. If you visit during the rainy season, you can experience breathtaking beauty as the vast sky and desert are reflected in the rainwater.
In the city of Bolivia, you can book tours on the same day, including sunrise tours, day tours (at noon), and sunset tours. You can even book all three in one day haha
A tip for you: the sunrise tour is really cold..!! Since it starts at dawn before the sun rises, you'll be tired and the desert weather is really chilly, so I recommend dressing very warmly.
If you can only do one of the three tours, I would definitely recommend the sunset tour. It lasts longer than the sunrise tour, and it's brighter and warmer for taking photos, which is really nice haha
There are many Korean travelers and transportation is well-organized, so the trip is easier than you might think! If you dream of Uyuni, I highly recommend giving it a try~!
Live to the FULLEST 2024✨
Travelling around the world is my passion, grew up as Indonesian with the rich culture and history bring me to be a curious person as a woman, and if I had a chance to wish for a trip I’ll be going to salt lake Bolivia! Where the world seems close to eyes and the stars stare at you! ✨✨

What is the experience of being married to the sky to marry?
The mirror of the sky in Bolivia was proposed, and Meng Xi said that he had conspired for two months, and his friends around him knew his proposal, but I didnt notice it.
I used to say that I want to go to South America to propose a marriage, go to Africa to choose diamonds to make a diamond ring
He also ran to Baidu in order to get my girlfriends contact information: How to get to girlfriend girlfriends WeChat
New Year I Watching the movie with the girlfriends, he asked me to call him after the end. I have a professional question to ask my girlfriend
to get the girlfriends WeChat and let her keep secret. I cant comment on his circle of friends, and let my girlfriends try my fingertips. , favorite ring styles, brands.
On the other hand, he asked friends who traveled in Europe to help look at the ring style.
The day before departure, the Hunan girl first came to our house and then flew from Hong Kong to South America. He went to pick up the girl and wore a suit in front of me. I said: Take this set to go to South America to take pictures. (I later learned that he was a routine, I asked him to bring a suit to go)
When he went to pick up the Hunan girl, ask: How about wearing this proposal?
Yunnans friend arrived in Hong Kong one day earlier and his mission was to buy a ring.
Going out one day, Meng Xi: Is platinum really more expensive than gold? Me: It should be. Meng Xi: Why? So which one do you think looks good? Me: I don't like it very much, I still like rose gold.
Yunnan friends gave the ring to Meng Xi, he has been in the phone case. One night they were shooting stars, I used Meng Xi mobile phone to play games, I felt that the phone case was bulging, and the other three were nervous, I was afraid I would open it.
Bolivia, Uyuni, this is the real mirror of the sky
in recent years, as if there are many mirrors of the sky, many of them are mirrors on the ground, or small The mirror of the sky reflected in the scale of the salt lake, I always feel that something is missing. This time, I finally crossed the earth to the mirror of the Uyuni sky in Bolivia on the other side of the globe.
We entered the country from Chile. In Chile, Puno used the half-day time to run the most difficult Bolivian visa, then to the Bolivian capital La Paz and then to Uyuni. The town of Uyuni is itself a town that has risen because of the development of Salt Lake tourism. The town is not big. There are many English-speaking travel agencies at the intersection of Av ferroviaria and Sucre street. You can compare the prices of several hotels to choose the right travel agency. We were in a car for three days and followed us to two nights of starry sky and sunrise, three days of sunset. I personally think that sunrise and sunset is the most beautiful time of the mirror of the sky.
Location: Uyuni
, Bolivia Traffic: You can fly from the capital La Paz or 10 hours bus
tips:
1. Due to the salt lake The water is corrosive, so all the things that have entered the salt water must be washed in time with fresh water.
2. Wearing a skirt in the mirror of the sky is the best choice.
3. Remember not to recommend self-driving, the road surface of Salt Lake is very uneven, and people without experience are easy to trap.
In some places, it seems like a dream.
"Mirror of the Sky" Uyuni Salt Marsh - The world's largest salt layer covers the wasteland, pure heavenly
Bolivian Uyuni salt marsh, is the world's largest salt marsh.
The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the beautiful suffocating sky,
water and sky, dreamlike.
This is the legendary "mirror of the sky", the closest place on earth to heaven.
Uyuni Sky Mirror only has a large area of water every year during the rainy season of January to March. This is the time for Uyuni's true strength.
Photo Raiders: When the water surface is calm and windless, the mirror effect is best, and the red clothes are better.
Going out to take pictures and take pictures, get used to scissors, or stand up, in fact, sometimes one or two small ideas, and then use the next props, will make our journey memories more exciting! 1. Remember the two concepts of borrowing and misplacement. 2. Put the props or characters close to the lens to enlarge the visual effect. 3. Let the subject be away from the lens, about 100 meters away, then Listening to the photographer's command and positioning 4. The photographer may need to kneel or even squat, find a good angle, press the shutter props can have many choices: toys, cups, shoes, glasses, smoke, and even people can be used as props. I can't shoot it, I can't think of it. Get this skill and pat it on your next trip to ensure you have surprises and more creative feelings.
The driver responsible for our trip arrived at the heart of the idea: Cactus Island
said that the island is actually a raised hillside in the Uyuni Salt Lake, the entire hillside is full of large and small cacti, buy tickets in the cactus The shuttle in the world, my heart still sighs the depression of the morning sunrise, if we start on time, we must see the sunrise far more than two minutes.
Even in the dry season, Uyuni Salt Lake is equally spectacular, with the world's white crystalline salt, giving you a sense of purity, the skilled driver will drive the car to the depths of the salt lake, teach you the most common in the salt lake Take pictures and visit the buildings in the middle of the salt lake. For every visitor, this is a brand new world!
The most famous of the Uyuni salt marshes is the white salt solids rich in impurities. When you enter the Uyuni salt marsh area, you can stay in a hotel built with salt. I have been smashed, really salty
but I live The salt hotel, the salt hotel that is not a tourist attraction
the earliest salt hotel should now be just an attraction
it is worth clarifying that from the entrance of Colchani town, there are several hotels are actually salt hotels The last time I stayed in Palacio del Sal (salt palace) was quite new and not expensive. In fact, the salt hotel is not a gimmick at all, it is really on the spot. In such a remote place, what is the price of pulling reinforced concrete and sandstone from the outside? Spread out to the accommodation fee, that would be more. By the way, on July 12, 15th, we updated the flag in front of the Salt Hotel, the biggest side!
The Dakar Latin American Triathlon in 2015, there is also a stop in Uyuni, there is a statue of Dakar in front of the Salt Hotel, it is also an attraction. People who live here don't forget to look up at the Galaxy at night. In addition, the hotel is on the east side of Salt Lake, watching the sunrise is not good, but the sunset view is still good every day.
We traveled internationally, from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni in Bolivia, I chose to travel around the country and travel across the border to Bolivia
first to enter the Eduardo Abaroa Nature Reserve Then, it is the Uyuni salt flats, and finally arrives in the Uyuni city. The whole journey is 5 days, 4 nights
protected area is not only the location of a variety of high-altitude lakes, but also the geyser at an altitude of 4,900 meters. Hh/ Before entering the scenic spot, you need to buy tickets, 150 Bolivian coins. This conservation area is too big. You have to play for a few days while driving. There is no road at all. I admire the young drivers on the way. I have long lost my way, the driver is still our chef, we have a picnic on the wilderness
road we can see all kinds of wild animals, deer, flamingos, alpacas, etc.
Infinitely wonderful, but the altitude is really high, generally more than 4,000 meters

More than 400 years ago, the Spaniards occupied Bolivia, Uyuni also came into being, and the surrounding rich mineral deposits made it quickly become a Spanish colonial town
more than 3,600 meters above sea level, 100 meters higher than our plateau holy city Lhasa In order to transport the excavated resources, the system began to frantically build railways in Bolivia. Today, hundreds of years later in the desolate and lonely land of Uyuni, there is such a train cemetery, rusty trains There is no need to buy tickets in the wilderness
, it is much more desolate than the western part of the United States. Under the dry climate of the plateau, it can be said that the train is rusty. Its definitely not possible for a hundred or eighty years. Ideally, just a shot is a doomsday blockbuster
The sky, the dry season of the Uyuni salt marshes, found the origin of the unusual horizon
the original "land of the sky", or because the Japanese NHK documentary about South America, tells the rainy season of the Uyuni salt flats, Water and sky can not see the feeling of the side, with the sky
this time I chose the route from the desert town of Atacama in Chile to hundreds of kilometers of desert areas, and finally arrived in Uyuni
Drive in a wilderness with no roads. If it weren't the reliable local driver, I wouldn't dare to step into this huge national park across Chile and Bolivia
at Uyuni Salt Lake. At sunrise, all the water in front of the lake is dry, leaving a layer of salt-based mineral hard shell, which can still look beautiful
gallop in the Uyuni salt flats, can not rampage, less necessary reference , it is easy for you to be at risk of getting lost
I remember the first time I heard that the sky was in my school. When my classmates talked about it, the face was full of two characters. Curiosity drove me to immediately check out what the classmates must call in this life: Bolivia in South America, which is geographically farthest from China. As far as this distance is concerned, I feel that I can only watch it on TV in this life. But life is like peeling a melon. You never know if the next one is bitter. When I really set foot on the land of Bolivia, my inner excitement is not to be said. Thanks for this trip, let me round out my dreams, and let me see the most beautiful sunsets in my life, no one...
Didn't wait for the train to spring, we drove two is the two-year old cross-country, crossed the hill across the desert, echoing in my eyes, you told me that the toilet six dollars. Bolivia, the poorest country in South America, has the most beautiful scenery, crossing Uyuni, traversing the national park into a volcano, cool~!
Located in the Uyuni Salt Lake in Bolivia, South America, it is a breathtaking romantic natural landscape. Staying here is like an illusory dream. This magical scenery is undoubtedly the most generous gift from nature.
Come here with a lover, enjoy the gorgeous starry sky in an environment without any light pollution, photocopy in the mirror-like calm salt lake, and then meet a magnificent sunset, watching the sky and the water Blending into one, transforming the moving colors of countless dreams, the scene is very romantic and moving.
## This beautiful red lake is a plateau salt lake in Bolivia. It is red because of the growth of red algae, and the lake bottom hot spring brings rich nutrients to the red algae. The two coexist harmoniously. At the same time, red algae also provided food for flamingos and became a place where flamingos reproduce. This piece of red, for the other side of the ocean, I wish you a happy Christmas in advance.
It is said that the "bird fight" is actually to see the flamingo. Since it is already in Uyuni, there is such a rarity on the people's site. It also drives back and forth 700 kilometers to the mountain with an elevation of 4,700 meters.
The Red Lake near Argentina is the most famous plateau salt lake in this large nature reserve. The water area is nearly 54 square kilometers. It is red because the red algae that the flamingo loves to grow, and there is the Andes living here. Wait for three flamingos.
The "train grave" is a bit unpleasant, but visitors to Uyuni in Bolivia will go around, a bit tragic and a bit fun.
Uyuni was once a relay station for mineral rail transport. The railway was man-made in the UK. In the 1940s, mineral depletion caused many trains to be dumped locally and is now a scene. (final notice
"I know that living in Uyuni is a 'luxury' experience. I didn't expect that I would spend 250 (knife) to participate in it."
The salt hotel that was grabbed online before departure was on a slopeside of the salt lake. The entire indoor brick wall and stone pillars were all made of salt crystals. The ground was paved with coarse salt that was not polished. Say "falling into the salt shaker"!
It is said that the hotel has special regulations
"I know that I will be riding a 'land cruiser' on a salt marsh. I didn't expect so many cars to be the target of my camera."
