Lakes become salty if the source of water flowing into the lake contains salt and the salty water cannot flow out of the lake. Salt lakes are endorheic, water leaves the lake by evaporation and leaves the salt and minerals in the remaining water.

During years of heavy rainfall in the distant past, enough water accumulated in basins found throughout the Andes to create lakes. Some of the lakes got their water from melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age. But in some lakes in the Andes mountains, such as Atacama, more water is lost through evaporation than is replaced by rainfall so the lakes are drying up. As the water evaporates, the mineral salts in the water become more concentrated, creating very salty water.
