Cono de Arita volcanic pyramid is located on the southern border of Salar de Arizaro salt lake area, northwestern Argentina. Cono de Arita is 120m taller than the salt lake surface. The conical structure "grows" up from the central area of the salt lake, characterized by a large pyramid. In Aymara, "Arita" means "sharp."
In recent years, it is thought that the perfect structure like the pyramid of Cono de Arita was built by human hands. However, in fact, Cono de Arita is a natural structure. It is said to be a small volcano, but it is not strong enough to erupt or use a volcano.
According to Amusing Planet, around this structure is black salt, brought to the surface by the ancient underground magma currents. According to archaeological research results, it used to be a center that carried out many ritual activities, dates before the Incas appeared.
Salar de Arizaro is a large salt lake in the Andes region, bordering Chile. Salt lake covers an area of about 1,600 km 2 . This is considered the second largest salt lake in Argentina and the sixth largest salt lake in the world. This area is exploited to search for metal and non-metallic resources such as salt, marble .
