There is talk of a deposit that is sedimented with other hardened materials, such as calcium carbonate, sand, clay and gravel, which are found in all parts of the world, especially in arid lands, such as deserts, among them are the Atacama desert and the Sonora and in the United States on its great plains. Its name comes from the Latin term Calx, which means lime, in Chile and Peru they use this term to identify deposits of nitrate salts or clay deposits.
It is mentioned as a molecule of calcium oxide in the name of quicklime, when it appears in other minerals such as limestone rocks, which is used for construction, and in its different states as paint, since time ago in ancient Mediterranean houses made of trees and mud. In the jargon of the language it is used in different ways in Colombia caliche is called to those who are named Carlos, from Antioquia and Valle del Cauca they use this nickname, in Mexico it refers to a way of speaking of some people such as caló, feeling that they do not understand anything they say, that is, they speak caliche. In Ecuador they refer to holes or puncturestires or that they have a hole somewhere that damages something. In Venezuela, in its word, caliche is called to any person with Colombian nationality, which sometimes the criticism becomes very disparaging since caliche is a synonym for swindler or cheater or something of very poor quality.
