Up in The Clouds

Rented a car and headed out of Salta, as we decended up into the mountain to the salt flats, we noticed we were getting close to the clouds!!!




See the difference on this road on ascending and descending!!!

Salt Flats, Northen Argentina

These are the amazing salt flats, these are dried up salt lakes high up in the mountains!! All that is left is lots of salt!!! Rainfall gives it a beautiful crystal like appearence!!



This part has a few cms of water, hence the reflection!!
