On this range, located 2 kilometers to the west of San Pedro de Atacama, you can observe a geological phenomenon of enormous mineral sculptures formed by the wind and rain...

This range was formed millions of years ago. Its geological origin comes from an emerged lake, where the old (ancient) horizontal layers of sediment and rock, dating at around 23 million years, were pushed and folded by the movements of the Earth's core, lifting the Andes Mountain Range, and leaving some layers in a horizontal position.

The Salt Mountain Range has been shaped throughout time by the rain and the wind, giving rise to enormous shapes and mineral brilliance made up of salt hills, gypsum and clay, spectacular natural sculptures, of various colors as a result of the minerals that form part of this natural attraction.
