It was built on the salt desert of Salar de Uyuni. Previously, the only folks in the area were salt miners but apparently it's now a tourist destination. From National Geographic: The blindingly white flats stretch as far as the eye can see, except for a few raised mounds of salt. Despite its barren appearance, the desert hosts cacti and rare hummingbirds, and three species of flamingos stop over each year to breed.
