You will start the day by visiting the Salt Statue erected to commemorate the passing of the the Dakar Rally. The Former Salt Hotel Playa Blanca nearby is also a well-known attraction.

The next stop is Isla Incahuasi. Giant milennial cactii cover this ancient coral island, a true testament to the resilience of life even in this barren salt desert.
