El Salar de Pintados is the site of Chile's oldest geoglyphs. However, no concrete information exists about the subject. Some have speculated that they served as signals for extraterrestrial beings. The most accepted explanation is that they were used as guides for the large caravans that traveled from the Altiplano (the High Plateau) through the Pampa del Tamarugal.
