Visiting Bolivia’s Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon)
Bolivia’s Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon), located in the Bolivian Altiplano, is a natural wonder that must be seen to be believed. The shallow lake, fed by hot springs, is a stunning shade of reddish-orange, with white borax islands dotting its surface.
The lake is home to a variety of wildlife, including three species of flamingos – the Chilean, James’s, and Andean flamingos. These vibrant birds can be seen wading through the shallow waters, searching for food.
In addition to the flamingos, visitors may also spot llamas, vicuñas, and even the occasional viscacha (a type of rodent) along the shores of the lake. One of the most popular ways to experience Laguna Colorada is by taking a guided tour through the reserve.
