Located in South America, Bolivia is one of the countries along the Belt and Road Initiative and well known as the "Roof of the World". Bolivia is renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery, attracting numerous tourists every year who come to witness its magnificent and vast landscapes. Today,【GreaterGo】will take you on a tour of Bolivia's three must-visit breathtaking destinations. Experience the spectacular “Mirror of the Sky”, immerse yourself in the cultural and artistic streets of the capital, and admire the picturesque beauty of the highlands, all enveloping you in the enchantment of heaven on earth.

Bolivia's Heavenly Delights:  1. Salar de Uyuni

Salar de Uyuni is renowned as one of the world’s most famous "Mirror of the Sky" scenic spots. Located in Southern Bolivia, one of the Belt and Road related countries and regions, Salar de Uyuni covers an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometres. From May to October every year after the wet season, the salt flat's surface becomes dry. The shallow water level on the salt flat creates a mirror-like surface that beautifully reflects the sky above, earning it the well-deserved title of "Mirror of the Sky."

As you traverse the surface of Salar de Uyuni, it provides a sensation reminiscent of gliding through the clouds, courtesy of the mesmerising mirror effect produced by the sky. The breathtaking scenery immerses you in a heavenly ambience, evoking a profound appreciation for the magnificence of nature and humanity's role within it. Therefore, a pilgrimage to Bolivia's "Mirror of the Sky" holds a coveted place on the bucket lists of numerous tourists.

If you want to capture the most beautiful angle of "Mirror of the Sky," you can leave ample space for the sky in your frame, wait for the water ripples to settle, and use a wide-angle lens to capture the magnificent scenery fully.

In addition, a unique hotel situated on the shores of Salar de Uyuni is constructed entirely from salt bricks. The colour of these bricks transforms with the setting sun, providing an unforgettable and immersive experience.

Bolivia's Heavenly Delights: 2. Calle Jaén

Calle Jaén is located in La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia, and retains many architectural features from the Spanish colonial era. The houses lining both sides of the street are adorned with vibrant and lively colours, rendering them highly picturesque and ideal for tourists seeking memorable photo opportunities. As you wander through the streets filled with exotic vibes, you can discover the unique cultural scenery of Bolivia in small shops and cafes, and explore four small museums to experience Bolivia's rich artistic and cultural heritage.

Bolivia's Heavenly Delights: 3. Laguna Colorada

Bolivia's renowned natural beauty extends beyond the Salar de Uyuni. In addition to the "Mirror of the Sky," you must not overlook the breathtaking splendour of Laguna Colorada, a high-altitude marvel! Laguna Colorada, also known as the "Red Lagoon", is located southwest of the Altiplano. As you gaze upon the expansive lake, you will witness a mesmerising and awe-inspiring expanse of vibrant red. This stunning sight is brought to life through a combination of red sediments and algae in the water.

While Laguna Colorada spans a vast expanse, its depth measures only 35 centimetres. The lake's abundant plankton population attracts flocks of flamingos, creating a magnificent spectacle. Against the backdrop of the lake's pale red surface, it becomes a resplendent paradise for these vibrant birds. Dotted across the lagoon are white borax islands, which create a gorgeous colour contrast with the red lake, making Laguna Colorada one of the most charming colourful lakes in the plateau of the Bolivian National Park area.
