Salar
de Atacama in northern Chile is a huge salt flat where water from the
mountains flows and dries out, leaving salt. There are some salt
lakes there in which flamingos find some vermin to feed on. In the
Altiplano higher parts (over 4000 metres above the sea level), some
rain falls and there is some grass, on which vicunias (wild ancestors
of llamas) feed. It is a national park so flamingos and vicunias are
used to tourists and don't run away.
