Salinas Grandes Map / Location

In a country that hosts the freezing landscapes of the Patagonia Ice Fields and the gorgeous vineyards of Mendoza, the Argentina Salinas Grandes Salt Field stands out with 2,300 square miles of stunning landscape. Only comparable to the Uyuni Salt Field in Bolivia, Salinas Grandes also shares its history as a prehistoric lake that dried up, leaving a thick layer of salt behind. Though it is not completely dry, as salt mining leaves behind pools of clear water along the surface.
