A piece of land surrounded by salt from all sides

Isla del pescado is the only island I have ever been to that you can drive to without taking abridge or a ferry boat. Technically, it is not an island, since it is not surrounded by water. Still, it is undeniably an island.

The salar is absolutely flat, much like an ocean, and its whiteness makes it just as homogenous as an ocean.

I am telling you, if you close your eyes you can almost head the waves crashing in.

Much like an island, there is a very specific vegetation : cacti. The cacti is very different and it takes forever to grow. There is this one specific type of cactus that is 1200 years old. At 25 feet high, it grows about half an inch per year. It is amazing.
