With the arrival of the rainy season, the Salar de Uyuni is already displaying the “Mirror Effect,” which occurs when rainwater remains on the salt flat, allowing it to reflect the sky and create an image that is only possible during this season.

The Director of Tourism and Culture of the Uyuni Municipal Government, Omar Pérez, reported that in recent days there has already been an increase in the flow of tourists, despite the situation the country is experiencing due to changes in fuel prices.

“We are already facing one of the most beautiful times that the Salar de Uyuni has to offer everyone: the ‘Mirror Effect,’ where there is a perfect fusion of sky and earth. Since last year, since the holiday that was decreed, there has been an interesting flow of tourists, including Latin Americans,” he said.

During this season, the salt flat is visited by domestic tourists as well as visitors from Peru, Chile, and other neighboring countries.

Pérez noted that due to the increase in visitor numbers, everyone wants to witness this natural wonder. “The ‘Mirror Effect’ is something highly anticipated. Tourists from Asia come only at this time of year to be able to see these beautiful images. There are agencies that specialize in providing this type of service; they have the equipment needed to offer safety to visitors,” he added.
