On the next day after our visit to flamingo, we went to another salt lake, this time high-altitude one, Laguna Lejia. It locates on the edge of Altiplano, 4300 metres, that is good for acclimatization.
\nWhile the road was on low altitude (well, 2500 metres), it was a real desert around.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Only some red flowers bloomed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, increasing elevation brought new life forms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The real bush around.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vicunas in the bush.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With our ascent, different types of plants replace each other.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The laguna ahead of us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This place is also a National park, so walking is allowed only on the trails, and no chance to come closer to water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some bushed blooming.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lupines! They can grow really everywhere.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vicunas on the shore.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We walked around, said good-buy to laguna and drove home.<\/p>\n
