Millions of years ago an ancient lake used to reside high up on this plain 3000 metres above sea-level. The lake has since dried out with all the salt residues from the neighbouring mineral rich volcanic mountains trickling down to leave an eerie white desert which stretches for 10,582 square metres.
The amazing salt flat goes as far as the eye can see. Equipped with warm jumpers and sunglasses we went for an unforgettable trip across this barren bizarre wonder.
