A beautiful lagoon to behold. The colours are so surreal!! It´s well worth the salar trip to see the beautiful lagoons too.

... Less flamingos than the others, but the bright colour made up for it! I would like more of a "science" explanation though.

There are several Laguna and hot springs as you head north across the Salar de Uyuni from Chile. Laguna Verde (green) is quite close to Laguna Blanca (white). Then further north is Laguna Colorade which is probably the best of the three for its pink colour!

A visit to Laguna Verde is normally part of a tour from Uyuni. The lake is not always green, that depends on the wind. So take your time and don't let the driver push you to go on until you want to.

Laguna Verde is located within the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve in the remote southwestern corner of Bolivia right across the border with Chile. It is accessed most commonly on day trips from Chile and as part of the Salar de Uyuni 3-day circuit tours out of Uyuni, Bolivia. The reserve itself is quite spectacular, but this is a thread only...

All you ever thought this would be - it was and more. Even if you're not big on scenery this will blow you away. How much better can nature get. One word of advice - very windy, very cold so wrap up warm, but worth every minute. Enjoy!

This is the first stop on a trip into Bolivia from San Pedro de Atacama. This is desert country surrounded by the peaks of volcanoes some with fumaroles which ‘steam’ gently. The colours of the rocks are amazing from white (borax), yellow (sulphur) Red (iron) to blue green (copper) with shades of orange and brown between. from the customs post... More

I visited Laguna Verde as a short day trip from the Chilean desert. The border crossing was smooth and the sites that welcomed me were breathtaking. Both the Laguna Blanca and the Laguna Verde were stunning. I did have to battle altitude sickness, since being at 4,600 meters in altitude really did a number on me! Luckily, I had taken... More
