Bolivia's "Uyuni Salt Marsh"

Bolivia is a landlocked country in central South America, bordering Brazil, Peru, Chile, Argentina and Paraguay. From the geographical features of Bolivia, it is mainly plateau, with an average elevation of over 365,438+000m m, making it the highest country in the world. La Paz is more than 3600 meters above sea level, and the country is extremely rich in natural resources, so it is also called "donkey sitting on a gold mine" by all countries in the world. The development of the whole country is relatively backward, although we have been constantly looking for new ways out in recent years.

Although Bolivia's economic development is relatively slow, it has never affected the country's tourism resources. Today, we are talking about the Uyuni Salt Marsh in the west of Potous, Bolivia, which is150km long and130km wide and covers an area of 9065km2. As the largest salt-covered wasteland in the world, it has always been called "the mirror of the sky".

It is precisely because of its unique form that countless tourists from all over the world come here for sightseeing. I believe many readers have been to the Chaka Salt Lake in Sulan and China, also known as the mirror of the sky. The shape of uyuni Salt Lake and Chaka Salt Lake is very similar.

Every summer, this place will be filled with rain, forming a very common shallow lake, but after winter, the lake will gradually dry up, leaving a mineral hard shell with a thickness of 6 meters, which people can drive on, especially after the rain, the whole lake will refract the whole sky on the water like a mirror, making people look so dreamy. Because of this, it is very empty, very smooth, very flat, and the surface reflectivity is very high, so it has become the most ideal place to test and calibrate Earth remote sensing satellites.

Understand through specific understanding; The Uyuni salt marsh was gradually formed during the uplift of the Andes. Tourists come here and see the endless white world, as if there are no impurities in this area, which can calm the hearts of many tourists instantly. It is precisely because there is a large amount of natural salt here that the surrounding residents will come here to mine some of it through fine processing and use the other part as building materials.

Uyuni salt marsh is favored by tourists from all over the world because of its different minerals, so the whole lake presents different colors in different weather and different lighting. Tourists walk on it, just like walking on a lot of diamonds. It is precisely because of the beautiful natural scenery and the vibrant cactus around it that it has a unique charm.
