Tucked high in Bolivia’s remote Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, near the Chilean border, Laguna Hedionda is a striking high-altitude salt lake surrounded by surreal volcanic landscapes. This natural destination is celebrated for its vivid scenery and wildlife, especially its large flocks of pink flamingos that wade gracefully through the mineral-rich waters. At over 4,000 metres above sea level, the lake offers a truly otherworldly experience, where visitors can witness stark white salt flats, turquoise water, and distant snow-capped peaks. Travellers often visit Laguna Hedionda as part of a multi-day 4x4 tour through Bolivia’s southwest altiplano, combining it with stops at other dramatic sites like the Uyuni Salt Flats and Laguna Colorada.
