Why it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood,but salt? That’s something few can claim. Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally ofsalt---including the beds (though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses andblankets). The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lakewhich is the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the4,633-square-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste(糊) of wet salt that hardens when it dries. When rain starts todissolve (溶解) the hotel,the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.

Later youmight test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to themain part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. You don’t evenhave to come down for breakfast---the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn“elevator”.
