Salinas Grandes

One of the places we visited in the North was a place called Salinas Grandes, which translates to Big Salt Flats. There were so many amazing photos that we decided it deserved its own post.

The drive from Purmamanca to Las Salinas Grandes was long and winding full of beautiful vistas of canyons and valleys.

4170 meters is roughly 13,000 feet! Las Salinas are very high up!

A recent rainfall provided a unique perspective.
Reppin that Camp Pendy Gear!
Visitors can enjoy a nice meal on some picnic tables made of salt.
Carlos told us that the popular thing to do at Las Salinas Grandes is to take jumping photos. Ray opted to show off his handstand abilities.
There were several trenches throughout the flats where salt had been collected.

Different reactions to getting their picture taken.
Even though there were other tourists there, one could walk 25 meters and feel very isolated.

At times, it seemed like we were at the edge of the world.
The reflections were awesome. Two sets of clouds. Two sets of Mountains. Two sets of Ray.

 Many more photos to come!

  1. You mean Ray was showing off his armpit hair, not his handstand
