The average temperature is 10-20℃, and the sunlight is strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures. ⛅️ 2. Must-visit attractions 1. Uyuni Salt Flats: The largest salt flat in the world.

Altitude sickness: Uyuni is nearly 3,700 meters above sea level, so altitude sickness is likely to occur.

Drink more hot water and keep warm. 2. Sun protection measures: The sunlight here is strong and the ultraviolet radiation is high. Be sure to bring high-factor sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats and other sun protection products to prevent sunburn. 3. Rainy season equipment: If you go during the rainy season, you must bring waterproof shoes and a light raincoat, because the salt marsh is filled with water and cloth shoes are easily soaked by salt water, making them very uncomfortable to wear.
