Uyuni Salt Flat (Salar de Uyuni)

Salar de Uyuni, amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat. It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desertlike, nearly 11,000-sq.-km. landscape of bright-white salt, rock formations and cacti-studded islands. Its otherworldly expanse can be observed from central Incahuasi Island. Though wildlife is rare in this unique ecosystem, it harbors many pink flamingos.

The Salar de Uyuni is undoubtedly the largest salt desert on planet Earth. ... This is also known as the Salar de Tunupa, in addition to salt, it is a large reserve of other minerals such as lithium, potassium, boron, and magnesium.

Late April is the perfect time to visit Uyuni, as you can see both the dry salt desert and the giant mirror effect. It is not as cold as in winter and rainfall is limited. The fewer number of tourists also means that you can explore it calmly and alone.

The Angel Falls

Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 metres and a plunge of 807 m. The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyán-tepui mountain in the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State.

Canaima National Park encompasses 3 million hectares in southeastern Venezuela, where the country borders Brazil and Guyana. It’s distinguished by its numerous tepuis, massive flat-topped mountains that rise from grassy savanna and are often covered in mist. The 979m-tall Angel Falls waterfall flows from Auyantepui mountain into the Cañón del Diablo, a steep canyon surrounded by tropical forest. It is located in Bolívar State, reaching the borders with Brazil and Guyana.
