Isla del Pescado



Later, following the west and almost in the middle of the Salar, is the Isla del Pescado, a closed ecosystem where born giant cactus and live small animals. You can hike the trails of the island and enjoy a beach of sea salt.

During the rainy season, when the salar can become flooded, many tours do not come up here, arriving just before the Hotel de Sal.


The hill is like a garden, densly populated by wonderful cacti, up to 10 meters tall (more than one hundred of years are required to reach that size).

Hello Sergio,

This is a superb picture, the colours, light, detail and contrast are A1.
The blue of the sky seems so strong. Simply impressive!

Great work, my compliments

Hi Segrio,
This is a perfect vertical composition of this cactus, sharpness and clarity of your photo are great as well as the exposition of the unbelivably blue sky. Beautiful scene from South America, TFS!
