I established 3 points based on the name: one in the Elqui valley where the muleteers and ranchers raised goats or could get guanaco meat for charqui, the leftover bones were preserved in salt in some drawers and were called salons. For the winter season, the bone became a food supplement when there was no longer fresh or dried meat.”
