Strolling across the Red Lagoon
Let's escape the winter weather for a while and enjoy a summer scene at the Laguna Colorada in the south-west corner of Bolivia. This 23-square-mile shallow salt lake sits high in the Andes, about 14,000ft (4,267m) above sea level within the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. Also called the Red Lagoon, it sometimes turns tomato-red, due to microscopic red algae and sediments.
