BOLIVIA - Uyuni Salt Lake

My first card from Bolivia comes from Richie and it was sent from Guatemala. Well! what could be better than this, to have both from the hard to get country :)

"Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers. It is located in the Potosí and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters above mean sea level."

GUATEMALA - Antigua

"Antigua Guatemala (commonly referred to as just Antigua or la Antigua) is a city in the central highlands of Guatemala famous for its well-preserved Spanish Baroque influenced architecture as well as a number of spectacular ruins of colonial churches. It served as the capital of the Kingdom of Guatemala. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site."

GUATEMALA - Ruinas de la Compania de Jesus, Antigua

"La Iglesia Compania de Jesus (Compania de Jesus Church) is a church in ruins located within the Cooperativa Espanola (Spanish Cooperative) in Antigua Guatemala. The complex was planned for educational purposes, and its initial function was as a school. It is home to the Cooperativa Espanola (Spaniard International Cooperation Agency) but a few years ago (late 1990's) its Atreus was occupied by a craft market. It is a must visit in Antigua Guatemala.

The church was founded in 1561. The administration was in charge of the Jesuit Order, whom were expelled in 1767. Then the complex suffered damages from the earthquake of 1773. Like several of the temples in La Antigua Guatemala, it was left in ruins because of the different earthquakes that affected the colonial city, and has been restored as a historical center."

GUATEMALA - Tikal Temple

Tikal temple (Maya civilization) is the ruins of an ancient city found in a rainforest in Guatemala.

"Tikal  is the ruins of an ancient city found in a rainforest in Guatemala. Ambrosio Tut, a gum-sapper, reported the ruins to a La Gaceta, a Guatemalan newspaper, which named the site Tikal. The Berlin Academy of Sciences’ Magazine then republished the report in 1853. Archeologists and treasure hunters then began visiting the forest. Today tourism to the site may help protect the rainforest.[3] It is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centers of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. It is located in the archaeological region of the Petén Basin in what is now northern Guatemala. Situated in the department of El Petén, the site is part of Guatemala's Tikal National Park and in 1979 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site."
