The most famous sight at Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is the Mirror of the Sky, but usually, the area is just covered with dry salt crystals. To see this phenomenon, you have to visit during the rainy season from mid-December to late March. After rainfall, the salt flat turns into an endless mirror that reflects the sky, making you feel as if you’re in heaven.

This stunning view is often called a paradise between Earth and heaven.
