Take a Bolivia holiday package and have a walk on the sky in Salar de Uyuni!



The land remains below your feet and the sky remains above your head, unless you balance your head on the land and face your feet upwards. However, that will surely be an awkward position and also not hold able for a long time. Well, this explains that there is no way an unusual dream like walking on the sky will come true. However, if walking on the vast blue sky and enormous pearl white clouds is one of such desires of yours, to fulfill which, you will do anything, then there is probably a way out. Take a holiday package to Bolivia during the rainy season and tour the Salar de Uyuni just after it has stopped pouring.



Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat located in the Postoi region of southwest Bolivia. It is spread over an area of 10,582 square kilometers and forms a 10 meters thick salt top-most layer in the center. During the summer season, these salt plains are extremely flat areas of dry salt. While, during the monsoons, it gets covered with a thin sheet of water, which can still be explored on foot as well as wheels. It is usually very cold in Salar de Uyuni, cold enough for you to bring along heavy woolen clothes that keep you warm. Several holiday packages are offered in this area that includes a 2-6 days tour to the salt flats and nearby multi-colored water springs.

During the rainy season, the water collected on the salt plains form a thin layer over the surface converting this holiday destination into a massive mirror. This means everything will be visible to you in pairs, whether it is the sky or you yourself. The thin sheet of water depicts the clear replica of the sky, clouds, sun, and moon above it. While, you walk on the salt flat, you will have an illusion of walking on the sky itself, which is just a replica. Now isn’t that mesmerizing? Salar de Uyuni can be explored for your family vacations as well as honeymoon!
