The Earth may be round, but these places will make you believe it may as well be flat. Keep reading to discover some of the flattest places in the world. They will definitely mess with your mind!

Salar de Uyuni

The largest salt flat in the world is located in Bolivia and it’s really big, approximately the size of Jamaica! The thick salt covers it completely so the horizon looks mesmerizing. Below all that salt is the world’s largest lithium reserve, which is the stuff your phone and laptop batteries are made of.

Danakil Desert

The locals call it the “Gateway to Hell” and it’s not difficult to guess why. The temperatures in the Ethiopian Danakil Desert often go over 50°C (122°F), which makes it the hottest place on Earth, in addition to being one of the flattest. As if that’s not enough, the place is known for hostile tribes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and geysers.

The Maldives

The flattest country on Earth, the Maldives, is a paradise in many people’s opinion. The island chain (consisting of 1,192 coral islands!) only rises up to 1.5m above sea level, but the bad news is that the rising sea level is a threat to its existence.

Salt caves and mines around the world have become popular tourist attractions, but have you ever heard of a hotel made of salt? That’s exactly the kind of experience you can find at Bolivia’s Palacio de Sal.

Bolivia is home to Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat and one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions. Many salt hotels opened in the surrounding area over the years, but none of them comes even close to Palacio de Sal.

This is the first luxury salt hotel in the world, built mainly with salt and in perfect harmony with the remote landscape that surrounds it. Floors, walls, and ceilings at this quirky hotel were all constructed with salt bricks, and the hotel even features salt furniture!

When it was first opened during the ‘90s, this hotel only had a common bathroom and no shower, but that’s no longer the case. It now features all the amenities you’d expect from a luxury hotel, including spa facilities, fitness center, sauna and steam room, hot tub, whirlpool baths, and a saltwater pool.

South America boasts some of the most unique and stunning landscapes in the world. Here are five places with views that will blow you away, no matter how well traveled you are.

Igazu Falls, Brazil

Igazu Falls are a series of 275 waterfalls. They are on the border between Brazil and Argentina, and you can admire the breathtaking views from either side.

Machu Picchu, Peru

In the misty Andres Mountains, you’ll find the iconic site of Machu Picchu. It was built in the mid-15 century and abandoned in the early 16th century after the Spanish invasion.

Easter Island, Chile

Chile is home to one of the world’s most mysterious and beautiful landscapes, Easter Island. The 900 Moai statues, which are scattered across the island, are the most memorable feature of all.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Salar de Uyni is over 4,000 square miles of salt flat. When it rains, the salt produces a mirror effect and the result is some extremely surreal and ethereal photos.

Galapagos Islands, Equador

The peaceful islands of Galapagos are filled with stunning landscapes and wonderful creatures, including plenty of giant tortoises.
