This vast sea of salt is made up of small blue, turquoise, pink or gray salty lagoons, formed by streams of surfacing water from a large salt lake that lies beneath the white crusty layer.
The Salar de Atacama is a very important source of financial development due to the mining excavation of potassium, boron, magnesium and especially lithium of which this region holds 40% of the world's reserves.
