Ojo de Agua

Two thousand square kilometres of blinding contrast between bright blue sky and the cracked and crusty expanse of white salt and turquoise waters is spellbinding. Here in the Salinas Grandes, in the Andes mountains in north west Argentina with an altitude of 3500 meters above sea level, the indigenous population continue to live in a sacred symbiosis with The Pachamama, also known as Mother Earth, to help preserve and protect the world. This natural pool is believed to be a Pachamama´s holy place and it’s respected and venerated by the locals.
