Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the main geographic characteristics of the Mar Chiquita wetland, including the large Mar Chiquita Salt Lake and the Dulce River wetland, two closely linked landscape and hydrological units. The main aspects covered in the remaining chapters of the book are briefly summarized and the key points integrated under a historical and geographical perspective. Included maps and aerial images help to visualize the main characteristics of this largest saline lake in South America.
