Argentina-North-West
Highlands (puna) of Jujuy north-west area. Every year the salineros (salt mine workers) meet for the Salias Grandes Festival. The flag of the Coyasuyo, the "Southern Province" of the Tayantisuyo, the old Inca's Empire symbolises the indigenous identity and resistance to colonial and modernizing influences. Salinas Grandes salt mines built into the flat, dry highlands of the Argentine northwest, where work 100-200 salineros (salt mine workers). Covering 212 square km are the third salt mines of the world, after Salar de Uyuni (Bolivia) and Salar de Arizaro (Salta).
