The Salar de Chalviri is a salt flat in the extreme southwest of Bolivia. It is located in the municipality of San Pablo de Lípez, which belongs to the province of Sur Lípez in the department of Potosí. The Salar de Chalviri is located on the Altiplano at an altitude of about 4400 m in the Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa. From the south, the Cerro Boratera protrudes into the Salar de Chalviri, and to the south it borders the Salvador Dalí Desert. On the western edge of the Salar, in the settlement of Chalviri, there are hot springs whose water is used for a small thermal bath and which forms a lake on part of the surface of the salt pan, the Laguna Chalviri. The closest towns are Peña Barrosa and Quetena Grande, 30 and 40 kilometers away respectively in a north-northeast direction. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salar_de_Chalviri
