About

Surire documents the disparate elements that form a natural and social landscape in northern Chile's isolated Surire Salt Flat, near the border with Bolivia. A Chilean Natural Monument, the salt flat and several small salt lakes make up a protected area that is home to a number of Andean species of plants and wildlife. A small number of Aymara elders live in this part of the desert, not far from trucks and machines that mine borax from an important deposit.
