Laguna Canapa, Potosi Department, Bolivia

4.5 (194 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Uyuni Bodies of Water

Amazing!!!.

Beautiful. Blue lagoon, with white edges of ice and borax, splashed by the wind. The pink dots that were visible from afar were the famous flamingos of the altiplano. The almost vegetation-free mountains around it served as a frame for that cold oasis in the middle of the desert. It was one of the most striking images I've ever had in my life. We parked in a corner of the lagoon and when we went down we could soon see the strength and cold of the wind that blew there. We walked along the banks to the point where the flamingos were concentrated, many of them immobile, paradinhos with one leg in the shallow water of the lagoon.

    Another lago, this one crystal blue
    One of our first stops on our way to the desert nature preserve. Loads and loads of flamegos. Windy, cold, high altitude beauty. Surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. Various groups of Vicuñas drinking water. Took dozens of photos and will be hard to choose which ones to use
