Mountains of salt

The Cordillera de la Sal was formed millions of years ago. It was an ancient lake, whose bottom was raised by the same movements of the earth's coast that gave rise to the Andes Mountains. Molded over time by the rain, wind and sun of the Atacama Desert, its final form as we know it today has a great variety of natural sculptures, different types of stratifications and colorations varied by the mineral diversity of the place.
