Sajama was the first National Park to be established in Bolivia (in 1942) and contains the country’s highest mountain of the same name. As well as protecting some of Bolivia's most spectacular altiplano landscapes the Park is also home to unusual high altitude wildlife and flora. The region is also noted for its rustic adobe churches and chullpas (or burial towers).

Sajama flora
Some of the high altitude flora specialities of the Park can be seen in this image. The green plant in the foreground is Yareta (Azorella compacta), which is very slow growing (up to 1cm / year) and used by locals for fuel. The bushes behind are keñua (Polylepis tarapacana); smaller dwarf versions can be found growing on the flanks of the volcano at heights of 5200m / 17,050ft - the world's highest tree line.
