facts
The largest
salt pan Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is so flat that rain can’t
drain, creating the world’s largest natural mirror.
It’s
also 5x better for satellite calibration than the surface
of the ocean, and an elevation measurement accuracy of 0.8
inches.
One of Bolivia’s oldest silver mines has claimed the lives
of an estimated 8 million people in the past 500 years.
It is known as the ‘Mountain that eats men” and
is still mined with pick and shovel today.
There
is a giant limestone wall in Bolivia that has over 5000 dinosaur
footprints on it. The 462 tracks were made by 8 species over
68 million years ago.
There’s
a bar in Bolivia called Route 36 that exclusively serves cocaine
that’s renowned for its purity.
Because neighbors constantly complain of noise, and because
cocaine is illegal in Bolivia, the bar constantly changes its
location which it spreads via word of mouth.
Bolivia’s
largest prison, San Pedro, has a society within itself, with
no guards inside the walls.
It has shops and restaurants run by inmates. Inmates elect their
own leaders, get jobs to pay for their cell’s rent, and
can even live with their wives and children.
There’s
a hotel in Bolivia made almost entirely of salt, complete with
salt beds and chairs.

Every
celebrity in every category must use their infuening power or
their own responsibility to help climate change which is already
crossing dangerous propoertions. Not climate change activism
but something which is legally ok with the government of their
country. World is an integration of all countries. Climate change
is an example.
