Travelers often come to Bolivia to see salt – and a whole lot of it! The country’s Uyuni Salt Flats are the largest in the world and cover 4,086 squared miles (10,582 km2), an area roughly the size of Hawaii.

The desolate beauty of this flat terrain is something to marvel and provides great photo opportunities that play with perspective.

Here are some of our favorites…
