Salinas Grandes

We continued traveling past the mountains and down into an old lake bed that is now salt flats. They were unlike anything we have seen before. They were dry and extremely windy. The cut out areas are where they mine the salt. They cut away chunks and carry them by truck to mills to make salt. The ground cracks naturally into pentagon and hexagon shapes. It was a very interesting space.
