If you think that pictures of this place do it justice, then think again. You have to feel the salt beneath your feet and gaze hard across the horizon to get the full experience. AMAZING!

What an incredible place. The closest thing I've ever come to heaven on Earth. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw the reflective illusion. I'll never forget this place!

I had such a fantastic time on the 3-4 day tour of Salar de Uyuni. I captured the most spectacular pictures! Definitely the highlight of my trip to Bolivia :)
