| Situated
in the Occidental Mountain Range of the
Andes, one can meet, on an average altitude
of 4600 m., a series of lagoons of impressive
beauty. These lagoons are fed by the thawing
of the mountains snow and occasionally
by rains of determined stations of the
year. They are very rich in ores, so each
one of them possesses a particular color.
Depending on the stations of the year,
the colors vary, as well as the water
level. They are rich in animal and vegetal
life. They are inhabited mainly by migratory
birds, over all the pink flamingos
The Colorada Lagoon is one of most beautiful
of the Andean lagoons. Situated in the
South Bolivia, near the border with Chile,
this lagoon belongs to the National Park
of Andean Fauna Eduardo Avaroa, supporting
an incomparable beauty. If anybody is
luck enough to see the sunset at the Colorada
Lagoon, this person will instantaneously
know that is living a magical moment of
life, therefore the Nature reflects abundantly
all its glory and its esplendor, in such
a way that the eyes are fulled of light
and the mind is perplexed, ahead and confused
with so much beauty: the deep blue water,
stuffed of rose flamingos, contrasts against
a light brown land, surrounded by volcanos
and snow peaks. This is an impressive
picture into which we are completely surrendered
by the emotion of the moment.
In those moments, the Nature poses us
clearly questions about the possibilities
of our lives: should we have days and
days and days and days of continuous work
to compensate that with only a single
moment of esplendor in the Colorada Lagoon?
When it arrives 18:00 PM, normally we
are locked in cars, offices, meetings,
running each one proper daily tasks. Meanwhile,
just remember the Colorada Lagoon is waiting
for you sometime, with all its majesty.
