    The earth cracked by salt takes on amazing colors

      At our time there were also countless flamingos in the neighboring wetland 🤩

      Translated by Google •

        The large area is divided into plots. These divided areas, which are all connected to each other, are filled with salt water. The waters are not deep, so over time in the strong sun the water dries up and salt remains, which is collected and processed for further consumption.
        Many species of birds have found their habitat in these waters, including the shy flamingos.
