Located 89 km from Iquique and 26 km from Puerto de Patillos, in a depression of the Cordillera de la Costa. Here you can see great mountains of sodium chloride, a mineral which is mined in this sector. This is the biggest open cast mine of common salt in the world.
The mine is approximately 6 km wide by 40 km long, with an average depth of 100 m. It supplies large quantities of salt for sale both in Chile and abroad (North America, Europe and Asia). It is not possible to visit the mine.
