The post 3 of the Flattest Places in the World appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>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.
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 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.

]]>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.

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 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.
