So, Boing Boing just picked up on a story at National Geographic that they are building a new salt hotel in the Salar de Uyuni.
It’s by far one of the most spectacular natural sights you’ll ever see. I hope with all my heart that they try to conserve the area and keep it beautiful. So much of the rest of Bolivia was littered with garbage when I was there in 2002.
Here are some more pics of that area from my trip. Click on a photo to see it enlarged.
1)Yes, this is what it really looks like on a salt flat just after it has rained. No photoshopping.
2) Bagging salt after it has been dried.
