All around the world places have parallels or similarities. Patagonia reminds me of Alaska. The Sahara is a bit like the Simpson, white sand beaches in Northern Australia are similar to those in Thailand or the Bahamas.
Not so with Bolvia. I've never seen anything on the planet remotely like the high Altiplano around the Salar and the entire South Western part of Bolivia. It's utterly breathtaking and unique.

- tspike 6y agoHow would you compare it with the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah?
- grecy 6y agoBonneville is nice, but it's just not remote or untouched. Obviously my opinion is subjective, but it's a bit like comparing the mountains and wilderness of central Alaska to that of California. They're not on the same scale.
