Ambargasta Salt Pan

The Salinas de Ambargasta spread across a closed basin south of the Dulce River in the dry Chaco. Sparse rainfall, intermittent streams from the Ambargasta hills and water from the Saladillo wetlands feed the depression. Water collects and evaporates without reaching the sea, leaving a broad expanse of salt and mud. Together with the neighbouring Salinas Grandes, it forms a striking white basin amid the arid plains.
