Laguna Colorada

Laguna Colorada
Laguna Colorada lies at 4278m in Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve in the south western corner of Bolivia. Its red colour stems from halobacteria and algae (dunaliella salina) and a very high copper content.
Laguna Colorada is the breeding ground of several flamingo species, mainly the threatened James's flamingo. In 1990 it was designated a RAMSAR site.

Thanks! The colour varies from pinkish to deep dark oxblood red. In this corner of Bolivia there's also a Laguna Verde which is turned greenish by copper (arsenic);-)

Herzlichen Dank, Lothar! Das habe ich mir auch gewünscht! Man muss leider immer zu früh dort weg...
