Bolivia bound . . .




THE Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia is the largest salt surface in the world and can seen from space. With an area of 12,000 square kilometers, at an altitude of 3660 meters above sea level and a thickness of 120 meters complete with a hotel made of salt.

The inspiration of Juan Quesada Valda, pioneer in salt hotels worldwide. His idea was to build a hotel made entirely of salt giving birth to the Hotel known as Palacio de Sal.

Not only a place to stay the Palacio de Sal has become a tourist attraction itself and has 30 bedrooms which look like igloos but are made out of salt blocks.
