Salinas Grandes, one of the world’s largest salt flats, spreads over an area of approximately 3,200 square kilometers in northwestern Argentina. Situated at over 3,450 meters above sea level, this impressive expanse of salt, formed millions of years ago from the evaporation of a massive prehistoric lake, offers an extraordinary landscape that feels out of this world. The stark contrast between the salt flat’s blindingly white surface and the vivid blue sky creates a mesmerizing effect, and the play of light across the salt crystals can generate stunning reflections and textures.
