To reach this village from the city of Salta, we travel 357 km through the wild landscape of Quebrada del Toro and by highland towns such Santa Rosa de Tastil with its pre-Incan ruins and San Antonio de los Cobres. Based in Tolar Grande, we explore places of great cultural and geological interest such as the Arita Cone, Sea Eyes, salty lakes with a variety of birds like pink flamingos, parinas, ducks and gallaretas. We cannot forget to mention Argentina’s largest salt flat, Salar de Arizaro, and the world-famous Llullaillaco volcano, where three Inca children were found mummified in 1999 by The National Geographic archaeology team.

  • Lithium Extraction in Argentina: a Case Study on the Social and Environmental Impacts
    Lithium extraction in Argentina: a case study on the social and environmental impacts Pía Marchegiani, Jasmin Höglund Hellgren and Leandro Gómez. Executive summary The global demand for lithium has grown significantly over recent years and is expected to grow further due to its use in batteries for different products. Lithium is used in smaller electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops but also for larger batteries found in electric vehicles and mobility vehicles. This growing demand has generated a series of policy responses in different countries in the southern cone triangle (Argentina, Bolivia and Chile), which together hold around 80 per cent of the world’s lithium salt brine reserves in their salt flats in the Puna area. Although Argentina has been extracting lithium since 1997, for a long time there was only one lithium-producing project in the country. In recent years, Argentina has experienced increased interest in lithium mining activities. In 2016, it was the most dynamic lithium producing country in the world, increasing production from 11 per cent to 16 per cent of the global market (Telam, 2017). There are now around 46 different projects of lithium extraction at different stages. However, little consideration has been given to the local impacts of lithium extraction considering human rights and the social and environmental sustainability of the projects. With this in mind, the current study seeks to contribute to an increased understanding of the potential and actual impacts of lithium extraction on local communities, providing insights from local perspectives to be considered in the wider discussion of sustainability, green technology and climate change.

  • The South American Indian As a Pioneer Alpinist
    TI-lE SOUTH AMERICAN INDIAN AS A PIONEER ALPINIST 81 THE SOUTH AMERICAN INDIAN AS A PIONEER ALPINIST BY EVELIO ECHEVARRfA C. ECENTL Y it has become kno\vn that a number of very high Andean mountain tops had not only been ascended but also permanently occupied by the Indians, possibly as much as three centuries before de Saussure's ascent of Mont Blanc. They climbed peaks of up to 22,ooo ft., they constructed shelters on or near their tops, and they used the high places as watch-towers or as sacrificial shrines. Some authorities believe that this activity took place as early as the late four­ teenth century, though we cannot prove that some of it did not take place long after, possibly as late as the nineteenth century. These Indian accomplishments have been left unmentioned in practi­ cally all mountaineering history books. In this article, which may be the first to attempt a comprehensive survey,1 my purpose is to review briefly the location and the nature of each discovery. The area in which these Indian mountain ascents took place is what in physical geography is known as the Atacama desert (although this name is nowadays used in political and cultural geography for a much more restricted area). It is a treeless, sandy and volcanic waste-land seldom visited by mountaineers. It stretches from the neighbourhood of Arequipa, in Peru, as far south as Elqui in Chile; to the east it reaches the Andean slopes that face the jungles of Argentina and Bolivia, and to the west, the Pacific Ocean.

  • The Argentine Lithium Connection,#CTMS2017
    The Argentine Lithium Connection A junior stock can begin a decent bull run for any number of reasons, but one thing’s for sure, it’s rarely because a drilling program started. Results? Sure! But explorers exploring is surely no news at all; unless, of course, you’re a Grosso Group company. Joseph Grosso and his team have been so long established in Argentina that confidence in their projects is automatically fairly extreme, and the group’s past successes coupled with their current asset acquisition plans may just be enough to create lift-off. The company in question, Argentina Lithium and Energy Corp. (TSXV: LIT | OTCQB: PNXLF), has the option to earn a 100% interest in the Arizaro Lithium Brine Project, including 20,500 hectares in the central core of the Arizaro Salar, the largest in Argentina and third largest in the “Lithium Triangle”. Upon announcing that exploration had commenced, LIT shares climbed by over 40%; presumably in confident anticipation of a positive outcome resulting from two things: the aforementioned belief in management, and an announcement citing the company’s intention to acquire an additional deposit in the coming weeks. All of this amounts to a sort of confidence positive feedback loop, especially as successful dealings in Argentina are currently reserved for the experienced only. Recent regime change is often enough to scare away most investors, but the Grosso lot have been cluttering up the place for decades already. In short, and with certainty, the group are sufficiently connected to move at an intensely competitive pace compared to, say, a newcomer to the region.

  • Los Otros Arrieros De Los Valles, La Puna Y El Desierto De Atacama
    Volumen 43, Nº 2, 2011. Páginas 177-187 Chungara, Revista de Antropología Chilena LOS OTROS ARRIEROS DE LOS VALLES, LA PUNA Y EL DESIERTO DE ATACAMA THE OTHER MULETEERS TRADERS OF THE VALLEYS, THE HIGHLANDS AND THE ATACAMA DESERT Raúl Molina Otárola1 La arriería ha sido una actividad relevante para las relaciones entre la región del noroeste argentino y el desierto de Atacama, ella ha tenido un importante rol en el abastecimiento y articulación de estos territorios transfronterizos. Esta arriería tiene dos rostros, uno es el hacendal, dedicado preferentemente al traslado de ganado en pie, para el abastecimiento de carne hacia los centros mi- neros y salitreros, cuyo tráfico perduró hasta mediados del siglo XX y fue registrado en las estadísticas de los estados nacionales. El otro rostro, es aquel realizado por familias de la puna y el desierto de Atacama, las que transportando sus propios animales y bienes para el intercambio articularon en ambos sentidos el territorio transfronterizo argentino-chileno, actividad sustentada en las relaciones sociales a distancia que pervivieron hasta reciente época, y se desarrollaron evitando los controles de los estados nacionales. A diferencia de la arriería hacendal, donde los arrieros son contratados para llevar remesas de ganado adquiridos por empresas, la otra arriería se caracteriza por el intercambio y el trueque, por tanto, se trata de otros arrieros que elaboraron sus propios viajes y diseñaron particulares estrategias de intercambio, sustentadas en redes sociales. Para comprender su movilidad y actividad transcordillerana, este artículo analiza las relaciones ocurridas durante el siglo XX y los inicios del siglo XXI entre la puna de Catamarca, el valle de Fiambalá, el salar de Atacama y la cordillera de Copiapó.

  • Ascensos a Las Cimas De Los Volcanes Rosado, Mellado Y Socompa Caipis
    Cuadernos Universitarios. Publicaciones Académicas de la Universidad Católica de Salta, vol. 5, 2012: 259-270 A la Sombra del Socompa: Ascensos a las Cimas de los volcanes Rosado, Mellado y Socompa Caipis María Constanza Ceruti1 Resumen En este trabajo se ofrecen los resultados de las observaciones realizadas desde el ámbito de la arqueología de alta montaña en las cimas de tres cerros situados en las inmediaciones del volcán Socompa, en la puna de Salta. Los ascensos efectuados personalmente por la autora permitie- ron constatar ausencia de indicadores de utilización ritual prehispánica en las cumbres de los cerros Rosado y Mellado; en tanto que en las cimas del macizo volcánico de Socompa Caipis se documentaron indicadores de ascensiones tradicionales y subactuales. Las ascensiones aquí referidas a las máximas alturas de los cerros Rosado (5.48 m) y Mellado (5.317 m) constituyen las primeras instancias de exploración científica de dichas cumbres. Por su parte, las observa- ciones en las cimas del Socompa Caipis (5.156 m) contribuyen a aclarar el panorama de la utilización ritual de las montañas que rodean al majestuoso Socompa, volcán de más de seis mil metros de altura, el cual había sido ascendido y explorado por esta investigadora con anterioridad.
