🏜Puna de Atacama is a desert highland plateau located at an altitude of more than 3660 meters above sea level! ⛰✨

There is a unique ecosystem consisting of 12 salt lagoons covering an area of 10 hectares.

The water in these lagoons is completely clear, almost free of dirt, but with the presence of stromatolites - microbial communities that are some of the earliest evidence of the origin of life on the planet. 🌊🦠 They existed on Earth for 3.5 billion years! 🌍💚
