Sandstone and granite mountains rising straight out of red sand, where Lawrence fought and where every film that needs Mars is shot. Sleep in it.
Potosí Department, 3,656m
Salar de Uyuni
Ten thousand square kilometres of salt flat, flat to within a metre across its whole width, which in the wet season becomes the largest mirror on earth.
