South American Highlights - Colorful Canyon in Northwest Argentina
By way of the northwestern highlands of Argentina, the small crossroads of land passing through Bolivia on a self-guided pass are one of the highlights of our trip. This not only saves travel distance, time, and money, but most importantly it is our discovery of the Northwest Plateau of Argentina for the first time, the discovery of Jujuy Province, the discovery of PURMAMARCA and HUMAHUACA Grand Canyon, and the discovery of this little-known natural heritage site in the world. I remember that at the company’s Cancun annual meeting in late April this year, when we met with our Argentinian colleagues and chatted with him about Jujuy and Humahuaca, he was very surprised that we Chinese could even visit the remote backwaters of Argentina, the colorful rocks of Serrainias del Hornocal in Humahuaca.

The mirror of the sky is the famous Salar de Uyuni, which is located near the town of Uyuni in southwestern Bolivia. It is the world’s largest plateau salt marsh and is approximately 250 kilometers from east to west and approximately 100 kilometers from north to south. With an area of over 10,500 square kilometers, it is rich in rock salt and gypsum. Due to its large area, flat and smooth surface and high reflectivity in the shallow water layer, it has become a state of the sky. The Uyuni salt marsh is located in the western plateau of Potosi Province, Bolivia, at an elevation of 3,660 meters. The rainfall is scarce all year round, and the climate is dry. It is only through the Lipez River that water is released during the wet period from December to the end of February. Only from December of each year to the beginning of April of the following year can we see the "sky environment" with a high probability.
