Salinas del Bebedero, Salt flats locality in Juan Martín de Pueyrredón Department, Argentina.
The salt flats extend across 6,500 hectares of tectonic depression, forming natural patterns visible from the ground level at 400 meters above sea level.
The extraction of sodium chloride from these natural deposits has sustained local economies since the early settlement periods of the San Luis province.
Local residents maintain traditional methods of salt extraction that reflect generations of knowledge about mineral resources in this arid territory.
Visitors can reach the salt flats by taking Provincial Route 15, located 42 kilometers southwest of San Luis city and 12 kilometers south of Balde.
The salt flats support specialized organisms that thrive in high salinity conditions, creating an ecological system specific to this mineral-rich environment.
