  • Located in Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat. Within the salt flat and its thousands of square miles of salt, the Luna Salada hotel was built using the abundant natural resource. Almost everything in the hotel is made of salt, including the tables, the chairs, the floors, and even the walls.

    If you breath and live in a house made of salt you are 900 more times likely of dying with a heart attack within 4 years. Also to add, if you walk around bare footed for one year on a salt flat, or salt surface you will lose all feeling in your feet.

      @InWeCome Před 9 lety

      I don't think it has much of an impact at 3000 meters altitude. Starting from 800 meters, the air becomes much drier already, even without salt. Moisture quickly evaporates from everything beyond that point.
