It used to be an island when this was a sea
Flocks of llamas ( pronounced yamas )

Vicuñas- of the llama family but they live in the wild while llamas are domesticated
Picnic in the desert and some unexpected visitors
Stone tree and stone condor 😊 Or so they say……
Laguna Colorada and its flamingoes

Some red algae gives it its name (colorada)- it’s the food the flamingoes feed off.

It was cold
Live volcano spewing smoke
Other worldly landscape at the geisers



The mud was boiling
And last before heading for the Chilean border…. the hot springs – at 7 am and after a poor night sleep, I wasn’t in the mood for a swim.
And last step….. San Pedro de Atacama (Chile)
Amazing UFO clouds
San Pedro de Atacama – view from the hostel

This is a more familiar type desert to me having lived for a period in the Western USA. Laguna Colorada is ‘other worldly’ like you say! Wow!
