Antofalla

Antofalla lies beside an immense salt flat in the high puna of Catamarca, below the volcanic mountains of the southern Andes. The Quebrada de Antofalla descends towards the salar through a landscape used by hunters pursuing vicuñas. Stone remains mark places where people worked within the ravine, whose slopes and narrow passages shaped the movements of both hunters and their quarry. Vicuñas still roam the high country around the salt flat.
