The Salar de Pujsa is a geomorphological salt pan in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile . It is embedded in the high Puna , around 90 km southeast of San Pedro de Atacama .
The salar is the sink of a 633 km² large, drainless water catchment area. The main tributary is the Río Alitar, which comes from the north of the Bolivian border. The river brings 200 l / s of water that would be suitable for agricultural irrigation.
The 18 km² large salar has open water areas with a total area varying from 4.5 to 9 km².
