Laguna Colorada, Salt lake in Eduardo Abaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, Bolivia
Laguna Colorada stretches across 60 square kilometers at an altitude of 4,278 meters, featuring red-tinted waters and white borax islands throughout its surface.
The national reserve received its designation in 1973 to safeguard the diverse ecosystems, including lakes, geysers, and volcanic formations within the Potosí Department.
The Quechua-speaking communities of Quetena Chico and Quetena Grande maintain traditional practices while residing near this high-altitude lake system.
Visitors can reach the lake through designated routes from Uyuni, with November offering optimal conditions for observing the three species of flamingos.
The water's distinct red coloration results from specific algae and microorganisms that flourish in these mineral-rich waters at high elevations.
