The city is connected by the world’s largest urban cable car network, Mi Teleférico, which offers spectacular views of the Andes and the sprawling neighborhoods that climb the canyon walls. Few cities combine such striking geography, altitude, and culture in one place.

    Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, c Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, covering more than 10,000 square kilometers. During the rainy season, a thin layer of water turns the surface into a giant natural mirror, creating some of the most surreal landscapes on Earth.

Isla Incahuasi sits in the middle of the salt flat but was once part of an ancient lake that existed thousands of years ago. Today, it’s covered with giant cacti, some over 1,000 years old and several meters tall.

    The Acueductos de Cantalloc are an ancient system The Acueductos de Cantalloc are an ancient system of underground aqueducts built by the pre-Inca Nazca culture near Nazca, about 1,500 years ago. They were designed to collect and transport groundwater through one of the driest deserts in the world. 

Their most distinctive feature is the series of spiral-shaped access wells called puquios, which allowed maintenance and ventilation of the underground channels. 

Of the roughly 40–46 aqueducts originally built, more than 30 are still functioning today, supplying water for local agriculture.
