Salado currently has more than 2,000 salt fields. 200 million years ago, an ancient ocean covering this valley was arid, leaving a rich source of salt for this place. Over time, layers of salt were buried and deposited.Often the salt deposited underground had to be mined by mining, but the Añana people were fortunate to have natural streams that bring salt back to the surface ground.



These streams are high in salt, with up to 210 grams of salt per liter of water, depending on weather conditions in the season of salt production.
