Mountains
Petr Liška Wrote 06.02.2015:
The north-western Altiplano has the interesting fact that there is both the highest mountain in Bolivia – Nevado Sajama (6,542 m above sea level) and the most beautiful – Parinacota (6,342 m above sea level). In total, there are four peaks higher than 6,000 meters above sea level and a number of only slightly lower volcanoes. All these highest peaks are relatively well accessible from the village of Sajama.

The area of the Sajama National Park is famous not only for its volcanoes, but also for its beautiful high-lying lagoons.

The greatest volcanic activity took place here long ago. The current remnants are only fumaroles.
