 Please Do Not Lick The Walls in This Bolivian Inn Made Entirely of Salt Published: Jan 12, 09 Views: 4,176 Bolivia is home to a rare hotel made entirely of salt This 15 room hotel also has a dining room, living room, and bar. It was built on the world’s largest salt flat by a salt artisan (no one ever told me about that in high school) in Salar de Uyuni. It was originally intended to house those visiting the flats, but as one would imagine, it has become an odd tourist attraction. No word yet as to whether asking someone to “pass the salt” is funny. Just one question: what’s the salt guy on his hands and knees for?  The buildings's roof, and bar are built of salt and even the floor is covered with salt granules. The walls are made of salt blocks stuck together with a cement-like substance made of salt and water. During rainy seasons, the walls are strengthened with new blocks, while the owners ask the guests to avoid licking the walls to prevent deterioration.
