Long long ago the salt mountain range wasn’t there, while the Andes was growing, it was pressing and pressing the valley, breaking the basin apart and lifting the little salt mountain chain along the Atacama basin.
The water and wind had uncovering spectacular landscapes, that I really love, when you come to Atacama and see it by your self, you’ll know why.
