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 of salt-including the beds (though you'll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets).The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni,a prehistoric driedup lake that's the world's biggest salt flat.Builders use the salt from the 4,633squaremile flat to make the bricks,and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries.When rain starts to dissolve the hotel,the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.
Green Magic Nature Resort
