Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I haven't been to Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia but it is on the top of my to visit list.
Salar de Uyuni, amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat. 
It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desert-like, 11,000-sq.-km. landscape of bright-white salt, rock formations and cacti-studded islands. 

Its otherworldly expanse can be observed from central Incahuasi Island. Though wildlife is rare in this unique ecosystem, it does harbor many pink flamingos.

Seeing just the pictures online, I'm mesmerised.

 Heads up!!!

·         Flashlight (torch) - the lights go out when the generator runs dry.

·         Coins and small bills - The bathrooms aren't free.

·         Sunglasses - The salt flats are blinding.

·         Camera, extra battery and loads of memory cards - There are no better pictures than here.

·         Extra water - The tour usually provides an inadequate supply. An extra 2L bottle per day.

·         Sunblock and hat - At 3.5km above sea level there is significantly less atmosphere to absorb the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

·         Sleeping bag - You can rent one with the tour. Down is best, and check to see that the zipper works.

·         Warm clothes - Layered is best.

·         Hot water bottle - The nights are freezing and you will be so happy to have it.

·         Flip-flops - The restroom facilities are shared.

·         Towel - None are available during the tour.

·         Extra snacks, especially fruit and protein - The food is adequate in quantity but tends to be heavy on starches.

·         Lip Balm - Sun, wind and dry air will crack them up.

Beauty.....no other words
