Please Note:
● The mirror effect can be seen year-round when a thin layer of water enhances the salt flats’ reflective surface. However, after the dry season (typically September to November), water levels may decrease depending on weather conditions.
● Full moon nights may reduce stargazing visibility due to increased brightness. Check the 2025 moon phases here.
