The Uyuni Salt Flats are covered by a few meters of salt crust and has an extraordinary flatness.

The region has two marked seasons: wet and dry. The rainy or wet season usually begins at the end of November and lasts through March. The dry season is typically from April to November. Both seasons offer unique experiences of the Uyuni Salt Flats, so you should plan your trip based on what you want to do.
During the rainy season, the Bolivia salt flats are covered in water. As such, travelers can capture amazing pictures of the Salar’s mirror effect, but access to certain areas is limited. In addition, excessive rain may cause some tours to cancel. On the other hand, during the dry season, temperatures drop and the salt ground hardens. As such, visitors can explore the iconic Incahuasi Island, and other areas, usually inaccessible during the wet season.
A PARADISE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: At nearly 12,000 square kilometers in size, and an extraordinary flatness, the Bolivia Salt Flats provide an endless horizon, which allows photographers to experiment with perspective and proportion. The results yield very creative and fun pictures that will surely go up on your walls.
In addition, during the rainy season, the salt flats are covered with a thin layer of water, which creates an amazing mirror effect for truly breathtaking pictures. The effect is one of floating among the clouds!
OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE: At over 3,650 m (nearly 12,000 ft.), the Bolivia salt flats can prove to be a challenging environment. The journey through the flats requires experienced drivers who also play the role of mechanics, as it is not uncommon for vehicles to break down. Only rugged, mechanical 4×4 vehicles are allowed in the salt desert because of the inhospitable environment. Also, it is very easy to get lost in such an expansive landscape, so it is important to hire good quality guides from a reputable tour company who know their way around. Finally, you can satisfy your inner explorer and visit beautiful caves, lakes and islands in the surroundings.
SPEND THE NIGHT AT A HOTEL MADE OF SALT: Believe it or not, the Bolivia Salt Flats are home to several salt hotels that have sprung in the last few decades to accommodate the growing number of tourists. And they are not as rugged as people might think. Many of them offer great amenities, such as hot water, spacious rooms and even Internet service. The experience of sleeping in a salt hotel is definitely worth putting on your bucket list.
