Salar de Uyuni




The Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, is one of the few places in the world where you can experience the incredible feeling of being on another planet. Usually familiar with large areas covered by water (oceans, seas and large lakes), snow (Northern Europe and America) and sand (deserts of North Africa, Asia and Australia), with apparent surprise that is sighted for the first time this resplendent desert salt, encouraged by a multitude of reflections of light in crystals of direct exposure to the sun. It feels astonishing.


If during the day, the Salar de Uyuni and surprised that it overshadows any image may exist in our imagination is certainly the end of the night, that this landscape is presented in a more surreal. When there is, simultaneously, to a Sunset, west and the moon at birth, in the East, the scene beyond any description. At night, the sky completely clear, the celestial sphere of stars inhabits is, in number as great as ever, at any time, the human eye could reach. The thousands of miles from any significant source of artificial light, the salar is a real paradise for astronomy enthusiasts who want to become familiar with the panorama of stars in the hemisphere south of the torrid sun noon, the temperature can easily drop for values below zero at night.
