It is a salt water lake and has islands of borax in its southeast and northeast sectors. The particular red color which has several different hues is a result of red sediments and also due to red pigment of some of the algae that are found in the lake. It is a nesting place for the Andean flamingos, and other birds who feed on the algae.
