The splendor of the salt flat
The soiree ends with the same magic as it begins the
new day even before dawn and a cold that pierces to
the bones, because it is about being fast, taking the
luggage out of the hotel and reaching half of the
salar to catch it red-handed when barely awake. The
first rays of the day seem fearful and timid. It is like
the sun was reluctant to show itself, but when the
right point of dawn comes, it shi nes as the first
poem in the morning.
The greatness of the Salar de Uyuni, the star of this
adventure, is totally indisputable when it is viewed
from the Incahuasi island (Inca house) that it is
covered by cactus up to 5 meters of hundreds of
years. And it's called island because the salar is like a
great white ocean, even with small static waves
caused by wind, with several mounds of earth as it
were an island, as it were an oasis for the traveler.
From above it is evident almost its 15 thousand
square meters extension, making it the world's
largest continuous salar.
