Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve is a protected area located in the southwestern region of Bolivia, near the border with Chile. It spans an area of approximately 7,147 square kilometers and is known for its stunning high-altitude landscapes, including salt flats, volcanoes, geysers, and colorful lagoons. The reserve is home to a diverse range of Andean wildlife, such as flamingos, vicuñas, and Andean foxes. One of its most famous attractions is the Laguna Colorada, a shallow salt lake that appears red due to the presence of algae and sediments. The reserve also features the Sol de Mañana geysers, which are geothermal fields with bubbling mud pots and steam vents.
