Salar de Uyuni : The Largest Natural Mirror

this is an example of recount text of mine



Salar de Uyuni : The Largest Natural Mirror

                After coming back from hiking, I start to be intrested about travelling. I read books about travelling. I browse about travelling on internet. I am obsessed about travelling now. Someday, when I was browsing about travelling, my eyes pointed at a picture of landmark that looked like a mirror, a giant natural mirror. The name of the  place is Salar de Uyuni.
                Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is located in the Potosí and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft) above mean sea level. It was created by prehistoric lake dried up. It is part of the Altiplano of Bolivia in South America. The Altiplano is a high plateau, which was formed during uplift of the Andes mountains. The plateau includes fresh and saltwater lakes as well as salt flats and is surrounded by mountains with no drainage outlets.
                When it dried up, it left a couple of seasonal puddles and several salt pans. Bright salt delicately colored mineral lakes in the Andean mountain. The view which full of white salt makes you feel in a dreamland. In other way, when it rains, the salty crust becomes a giant mirror. It is caused by water that cover the surface. The view is really amazing. It looks like you can walk on the sky. The reflection from the water makes you can touch the sky and stand on the sky. The beauty of this vast salt desert makes it one of South America's greatest inspiring spectacles.

                There is no word to explain how beautiful it is. It has sprouted up my desire to go there. Maybe I will regret if I couldn’t go there once in all time of my live. I thanks to God that has created a beautiful place like that.
