The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes


Jump


It is covered by a few meters of salt crust


Exceptionally rich in lithium.


Really a fun and interesting experience

Incahuasi has a total area of 24.62 hectares


Deposits that often consist of fossils and algae
