The remote provinces of North and South Lípez in the far south west of Bolivia contain some of the most spectacular and surreal landscapes to be found in South America. Most of the region is part of the Altiplano–Puna volcanic complex, which has seen intense activity in the past from several volcanic centres. Landscapes are dominated by volcanos, high altitude deserts and Central Andean dry puna habitats, huge ancient ignimbrite rock deposits and other volcanic rock formations and saline / mineral lakes (a number which have been designated Ramsar Wetland sites). Images from the tiny Baldiviezo Province (which is surrounded by the Lípez Provinces) are also included here for convenience. Please visit the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve gallery for images of the Reserve, which is located in the southwestern part of South Lípez and contains the famous Lagunas Colorada and Verde lakes.
