Laguna Hedionda, located in Bolivia’s Nor Lípez Province, is a striking saline lake renowned for its vibrant wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Situated at an altitude of 4,121 metres, it is one of the nine small saline lakes in the Andean Altiplano. The lake’s high sulphur content gives rise to its name, meaning “stinking lake” in Spanish. Despite this, it is a haven for migratory flamingos, including the distinctive pink James’s flamingo. Surrounded by black volcanic rocks and semi-desert steppe, Laguna Hedionda offers a surreal landscape, making it a popular stop for travellers exploring Bolivia’s remote high-altitude wonders.
