Larger Than Life
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|March 2019

Let these epic panoramas paint their pretty pictures on canvases so vast, over scales so astounding that you would not miss them for the world.

Larger Than Life

From fictional behemoths to modern-day skyscrapers, humankind has a perverse obsession with one-upmanship, constantly conceiving the next world’s biggest. Pushing the envelope is great, but do we really need an 829m tall building to prove our mettle? Instead, look to these monumental destinations that bring so much more to the table than just colossal proportions.

SALAR DE UYUNI

If one does not know any better, he might assume the ethereal vistas of Salar de Uyuni are of the otherworldly kind. However, a trip to the Altiplano will cast away any doubts about image manipulation. Amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat. The desolate area of about 10,582 sq km is covered by a thick crust of salt that extends to as far as the eye can see, forming quilted, polygonal patterns on the ground. At certain times of the year, nearby lakes overflow, and a thin veil of water transforms the flats into a surreal reflection of the sky, offering breathtaking photo opportunities as heaven meets earth.
