Salar de Tara

Our first stop in the Salar de Tara was at Monjes de la Pacana (Pacana Monks). Its a stone formation in the middle of the desert that looks like monks in their habits. Nearby is the obelisk formation. It is about 20-25 mts tall. We stopped there for a few minutes. It was quite cold and windy. We were slightly higher and we could see the Laguna Aguas Calientes below. The name of the lake literally means hot water but according to our guide, it is so cold here that any hot water coming out cools very quickly so there is no hot water in the lake.Read more
