Sajama

At more than 6,500 meters (21,300 feet), Sajama is Bolivia's tallest mountain and one of the highest volcanos in the world. It may be Bolivia's smallest national park, but it packs in a lot to see.


Between La Paz and Sajama, we of course have to make a stop to see a historic church.

Some of the lava formations are really cool.

The landscape may seem desolate, but beautiful in its own way.

There is still some thermal activity, with geysers and bubbling pools.

From Sajama Village, the mountain is spectacular first thing in the morning.

There are other dormant volcanoes surrounding Sajama (that actually look more like volcanoes)

We even found a hotspring to take a dip in (yes, we are still pale after nearly a year here).

The traditional ovens that are common on the alti-plano; just not sure why they don't have ovens in their homes to help with the chilli winters.

Yep, another great old church in a different village in the park.

Llama and alpaca - hundreds. It was hard to get a picture of them looking at us because as soon as we would stop the vehicle they would run away, so most pictures are of llama bums.

Some of the rock formations were very different and reminded us of Drumheller.

In this part of Bolivia, they used to place the bones and ashes of their dead are placed in these large granary type buildings.
