Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats

Saw this over at Where The Hell Is Matt?.  He's a lucky guy who does nothing else but travel to unique and strange places.

This is from the Salt Flats of Bolivia:



None of these pictures are photoshopped.  At over 4,000 square miles, it's the world's largest salt flat.  In the rainy season it's covered with a couple of inches of water that creates a perfect mirror of the sky. 






The speck on the horizon is the Salt Hotel.  Yes, it's made out of salt.

Amazing.  I really need to travel there sometime in my lifetime.

This is in Shadow Hearts: From the New World (PS2), the Uyuni Salt Flats

I thought it was a fake place in the game until this thread

That's funny, I haven't played that game so I didin't know that it was in there.

Here are some pics of the Salt Hotel:

Yep, everything really is made out of salt.  It's about $50 bucks a night.
