July 11 to 13, 2010 : Laguna de los Pozuelos.

 




The "campground", totally desert, is a true paradise - yet a bit cold at night (altitude 3600 m)...

Red flamengos and many other birds live around the laguna.
Domestic llamas herds also graze in the vast extent around the laguna.
And also wild vicunas, light and graceful, but very shy
We even saw a few nandus, a kind of small ostrich.

 

Next to the laguna, a few rare farms, where llamas and sheep are raised.


At the end of the day, we spent hours storing up on the light and heat of the last sunrays

A little paradise, I am telling you...
