Laguna Verde (Green Lagoon) is a salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, in the Department of PotosÃ, Province of Sud LÃpez, on the Chilean border at the foot of the volcano Licancabur. Its colour is caused by sediments, containing copper minerals. It is elevated some 4,300 m (14,000 ft) above sea level.
I have no idea how anyone can breath at that altitude!
Surrounded by an impressive scenery and arid beauty, the Tatio Geysers is a geothermal field of volcanic origin, where water and steam spring up violently from deep inside the Earth.
The geysers are located more than 4,000 m (13,120 ft) above sea level, and therefore morning temperatures are very low. It is also the time of day, between 5:30 and 7:00 am, when the geysers are at their peak and streams can easily reach heights of 10 meters (32.8 ft).
Nearby there are hot springs where you can enjoy a thermal bath.
We got up at four in the morning again to go see some geysers, I don't know why. It was cold, but worth it.
