Early mornings are especially magical, with the golden hues of sunrise illuminating the landscape.

However, visiting during the dry season, from May to November, also has its perks; the salt crust hardens, revealing unique patterns and textures that enhance photography. Ultimately, for those seeking the iconic mirror effect, the rainy season is unbeatable, while the dry season appeals to adventurers wanting to explore the salt flat’s vastness.
