BOLIVIA-UYUNI-SALT FLATS-TOURISM


Flags from numerous countries are seen waving at the Uyuni salt flats, Bolivia on October 9, 2009. The Uyuni salt flats are estimated to contain 10 billion tons of salt - of which 25,000 tons are extracted every year - as well as 100 million tons of lithium, making it one of the largest global reserves of this mineral, according to state officials at the Bolivian Mining Corporation (COMIBOL). The salt flats are a major tourist attraction in Bolivia, with around 60 thousand tourists visiting them every year, where one can find various types of flamingos, giant cacti, geysers, hot springs, volcanoes and colorful ponds.
