Saturday 12 December 2009

Salar de Uyuni, a sea of salt, a salt desert, in southwestern Bolivia, was once an inland sea, or giantsalt water lake, but the water vanished into the thin dry air of Andean altitude.
About 40.000 years ago, this lake is a part of Michin Lake, when it dried, about two lakes left behind, Poopo and Uru-Uru Lake, and two biggest salt desert, Salar de Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni.


Approximately, Salar de Uyuni contains 10 billions tons of salt, and we can obtain not less than 25.000 tons of salt every year. Every November, Salar de Uyuni become a habitant for Flamingo species in South Africa, Flamingo Chili, James and Andes.
