The Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve (Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Abaroa in Spanish, abbreviated to REA) covers nearly 715,000 hectares in South Lipez Province in the far south west of Bolivia and is the most visited protected area in the country. The main attraction is Laguna Colorada (an unusual red / orange coloured lake with an important flamingo population); many volcanos, mineral lakes (including the spectacular bright turquoise Laguna Verde), the Sol de Mañana geothermal field, high altitude deserts such as the Siloli Desert and unusual eroded rock formations can all be visited within the Reserve.
