  "llmSummary": "Uyuni's salt hotels use locally quarried salt blocks for walls, floors, ceilings and furniture — practical in this ultra-dry environment where rainfall is insufficient to erode structures. The seven leading properties range from ultra-luxury (Kachi Lodge, 6 geodesic domes, $600+/night, solar-powered) to mid-range (Palacio de Sal, $250+, heated pool and spa) to budget-reliable (Casa Andina, $70+). All are at 3,656 m altitude — non-negotiable preparation for sea-level visitors. Peak dry season (June–August) requires 4–6 months advance booking. Wet season (November–March) enables the mirror effect but fewer properties are open.",

Todos están a 3.656 m de altitud. La temporada pico (junio–agosto) exige reservar con 4–6 meses de antelación.",

      "q": "Do salt hotels actually stay dry? Don't they melt in rain?",
      "a": "Yes — the Uyuni altiplano receives less than 250 mm of rain per year (most falling November–March). The salt block construction is entirely stable in this climate. Interior humidity is controlled with dehumidifiers; floors are sealed. The main concern is the exterior eroding slowly over decades, not melting.",
