I was reading a text and there was a sentence like this;

"A través del Altiplano llegamos a Uyuni, el salar más grande del mundo."

What does el salar mean? Thanks.

It is a kind of salt desert or shallow lake with high concentration of salts and nitrates. The largest one is the one in Uyuni, Bolivia.

I think it means 'salt dessert' or 'salt plain' smile
