The Salar de Uyuni in southwest Bolivia is the world’s largest salt lake, covering some 10,000km². Islands in its centre covered in giant cacti only add to some of the most surreal landscapes on the planet. The whole region is spectacular; with the volcanoes of the Cordillera Lipez range, brightly coloured mineral lakes contrasting with the barren high altitude Siloli Desert and wind eroded rock sculptures that Henry Moore would be proud of!
High quality photographic prints of Bolivia with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints and greeting cards are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details. If you would like a print of any photograph that is not in the gallery please contact James Brunker at magicalandesphotos@yahoo.com A high resolution version of the desired image can easily be uploaded for you.

Salt hexagons at sunset
View across the vast expanse of the Salar de Uyuni at sunset, with the Tunupa volcano on the horizon. The hexagonal patterns are formed as the salt crystallises when water evaporates from the surface. The salt varies in depth from 2 to 20m, beneath is a reservoir of super saturated salt solution
