This vast salt lake is blanketed by a thick crust of salt and attracts some interesting varieties of birds including several different types of flamingos.
Salar de Atacama is the largest salt flat in Chile. It is located 55 km south of San Pedro de Atacama. It is surrounded by mountains and has no drainage outlets. In the east it is enclosed by the main chain of the Andes, while to the west lies a secondary mountain range of the Andes called Cordillera de Domeyko. It is best viewed from a hot air balloon ride especially to appreciate it’s vastness. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting same or viewing it from a hot air balloon ride.

I have the opportunity to visit the ruins of this old silver refinery and an impressive museum. Even the ruins are not special you can learn many things in the museum visiting the areas specialized in astronomy, mining, geology, paleontology in a desert area.The entrance fee is only US$ 3 but free every monday.
