The salt lake in Bolivia is the best place to capture the reflection of Milky Way. If you want to get a perfect reflection, you need to wait for a moment with no wind and shoot at a low-level angle.

#getgoing2025 Uyuni Salt Flat The biggest salt flat in the world. It has been a dream of mine to visit here for many years, and now my dream has finally come true. It was a great feeling to see one of the most spectacular sights.. We ran around from a perfect salt plain to a place with lake conditions just right for reflection, and we were blessed with good weather, so even though we were there for three days and two nights, we still didn't have enough to play around with. It is highly recommended to take all tours in the morning, evening and night. 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Uyuni Salt Flat 📍Address: Uyuni, Bolivia 💞Reasons to Recommend: Spectacular views ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #uyuni #bolivia

I finally made it to the Uyuni Salt Flats! It took 40 hours from Japan, changing planes three times. Bolivia's Uyuni Salt Flats is a place you should visit at least once in your life! The vast salt land reflects the sky like a mirror, creating a fantastic landscape that makes you feel like you are walking in the sky. Especially during the rainy season, the salt lake turns into water, and you can see the amazing view of the infinite sky and earth becoming one. At sunset, the lake turns orange, adding to its mysterious beauty. The starry sky is also wonderful, and at night, you will be captivated by the sight of the galaxy reflected on the lake surface. A spectacular view that seems out of this world. It's just like heaven!! Experience the miracle of the earth at the Uyuni Salt Flats! The rainy season is from January to March. Be sure to visit during this time☺️ #Bolivia #SpectacularTrip #StarrySky #OverseasTrip #UyuniSaltFlats

This was actually my second time at the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia. The first time, my camera was stolen before I arrived in Uyuni, so I didn't have any photos to remember, and this was my revenge after 20 years. The rainy season in Bolivia in 2023 was said to be a drought in some areas, but fortunately the Uyuni region was well-filled with water, so I was able to see the reflection I had been longing for! The Japanese love the mirror-like surface of Uyuni! (In contrast to Japanese people, Westerners seem to like the dry season.) Unfortunately, there are few clouds and the picture is a bit lonely, but it still has that "Uyuni" feel. Even so, since it was February, Uyuni was full of Japanese people. In particular, there were a surprising number of students who were about to graduate, and it looked like Little Tokyo. photo on 26th Feb 20223 ⁠ This is 'UYUNI Salt Flat' in Bolivia at 11,995 feet (3,656 metres). In the rainy season between Nov and Mar, there happens to be covered with water like a mirrored lake. Actually most Japanese love such a picturesque mirrored lake of UYUNI. So I met a lot of Japanese tourists at that time, especially university students as a graduation trip. Anyway, it's super stunnning ! ⁠ #tripoverseastravel #breathtakingview #Bolivia #hiddenplace

Of course, this is not in the sky! Lol This is the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia 🇧🇴 I've been to over 50 countries and many places, but I've never seen a more breathtaking view than this one 🥹 The moment I arrived, I was speechless because it was so beautiful! It's a long way to get there, but I really recommend it 🫶🏽 The thing to be careful of at the Uyuni Salt Flats is the season ⚠️ This heavenly view is not available all year round ☝🏽 It is formed when the salt flats fill with water during the rainy season, so January to March is said to be the best season 😊 Be careful, as you won't be able to see the reflections at any other time! #Bolivia #Uyuni Salt Flats #Overseas Travel #0 Yen Travel Autumn #100 Travel Styles

Best time to travel: Rainy season (December to March): This is the best time to visit the Uyuni Salt Flats. Rainwater floods the surface of the salt flats, forming shallow lakes. The lake surface becomes a vast mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, brilliant sunrise or starry sky. You can take stunning photos of the "Sky Mirror" effect. Dry season (April to November): The lake dries up, leaving only a hard shell of minerals, mainly salt. You can drive on the white lake bed, experience a hot air balloon ride, and take interesting optical illusion photos using the white background and flat terrain.

In the middle of the salt plains in southern Bolivia is a an oasis of an island where hundreds of cacti plants exist called Isla Incahuasi! To access the island, it is best to be booked through a group tour from the city of Uyuni. Once there, you can take a hike through the island and discover the different plants that are there and how old they are. There are toilets and lots of information at the island as well as a small admission fee.

#myhiddengems In the south of Bolivia there is a natural attraction of salt flats which can be easily accessed through an organised tour. From Uyuni (which has an airport) there are lots of tour companies that can take you there. There is a hotel in the salt flats themselves (made out of salt) and there is an also a cactus island. It is a great place to visit to take lots of great pictures

#Overseas Travel Visiting Isla Incahuase in Bolivia was an exciting adventure. When she arrived at the island, she was dazzled by its unique natural beauty. Isla Incahuase is an uninhabited island in the middle of the salt lake of Lake Oro. The island was covered with many fossilized plants and rocks that had formed over many years. I enjoyed walking the rocky trails and exploring the magnificent landscape around me. From the top of the island, I enjoyed a wonderful view of the amazing salt lake. I also visited a small museum with many plant and animal specimens. Visiting Isla Incahuase was a unique natural experience and an opportunity to enjoy the fascinating beauty of Bolivian nature.

It wasn’t until I returned to Salar de Uyuni this year, that I realized how blessed we were to get these conditions the first time around. When these photos were taken back in 2020, I was blown away by the surreal beauty, but I assumed the salt flats always looked like this. Turns out, they don’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I don’t regret going back. It was a good reminder to appreciate the moment you’re in while you’re there. It might turn out you’re experiencing all time conditions without even knowing it! Perspective is a wild thing. cr:jess.wandering Contact us for removal

Cactus Island, officially known as Isla Incahuasi, is located in the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia, South America. What's unique about this island is that it is covered with large cacti of various unique shapes, some of which are even covered with algal fossils. These cacti range in height from 1 meter to 12 meters, forming a very shocking cactus forest. However, with humans mining lithium from the bottom of the salt flat, this spectacular sight may change. It's worth noting that "Cactus Island" is also an island in "One Piece". It is the first island where the Straw Hat crew landed on the Grand Line, and it is the main stage of the Whiskey Peak Arc. This phenomenon of the same name also reflects that Cactus Island has a certain degree of fame and influence in both reality and fictional works.
