Argentina. Salta

SALT FLATS


Early morning departure; first we visit Purmamarca and then Salinas Grandes (Salt Flat). The "salinas" have 212 km2 of extension -the same surface as the city of Buenos Aires- and are located in the Puna at 3,450 m.a.s.l. A white stretch of salt that contrasts with the blue of the sky. It is a unique natural environment with its traditional artisanal exploitation of salt. The return to Salta is by the same road as the one way.
