Route of the Salt Flats

About the experience

Route of the Salt Flats In this part of the Desert, salt flats are found – where the sand is replaced by salt. Just like in other spots, the colors are vibrant and the fusions between them give an even more beautiful highlight. Another incredible landscape is due to the enormous rock formations that time and wind have shaped into true sculptures. Known as the Sentinels of Tara, some even resemble the Moai found on Easter Island; they are enormous stone pillars, solitary in the middle of the desert sand. The reserve with its rock formations also guards lagoons of impressive colors, in addition to being the habitat of wild animals.
