UYUNI, is one of the most important salt reserves worldwide.
Uyuni and other salt flats nearby originated around
10,000 years ago. They are the last geological stage
of a huge lake that once covered 7,800 sq. miles.
This salt lake is also part of an ancient drainage
system of the Titicaca and Poopó lakes in southwest
Bolivia. The surreal scenery and unforgettable wildlife
make this salt lake one of the natural wonders of
Bolivia, without doubt the most photographed attraction
in Bolivia. It has a long history of human occupation
from pre-Columbian cultures, the Incas, and the Spanish.
The local people still breed alpacas, llamas and fine
vicuñas. |
