Laguna Blanca is a strikingly beautiful salt lake located in the Potosí Department of Bolivia, near the border with Chile. It lies at an altitude of approximately 4,350 meters (14,270 feet) above sea level in the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. The lake is named "Blanca" (which means "white" in Spanish) due to its white, mineral-laden waters that are rich in borax. This creates a stunning contrast with the surrounding arid, mountainous landscape. Laguna Blanca is often visited in conjunction with the nearby Laguna Verde and is renowned for its unique natural beauty and abundant wildlife, including flamingos and other bird species.
