The Salar de Uyuni is considered one of the most surreal places on earth. And day in and day out, visitors capture photos of its reflections and use its space to create comical distortions of perspective. But the area’s surroundings offer so much more: multi-coloured lakes home to thousands of flamingos; a rock shaped like a tree; geysers spewing sulphur into the atmosphere; and landscapes that look as if they were taken by the Mars Rover.
