Sajama National Park

Bolivia’s first national park occupies 1000 sq km abutting the Chilean border. The park offers expansive high-plains views, geyser fields, hot springs, and climbing and hiking opportunities aplenty.

vicuña populations are on the rise – they were nearly hunted to extinction for their highly prized wool. You may also spot condors, flamingos, rheas and armadillos.

The world’s highest forest covers the foothills flanking the awe-inspiring Volcán Sajama which, at 6542m, is Bolivia’s highest peak. The forest consists of dwarf queñua trees, an endemic and ancient Altiplano species. But while technically a forest, it’s a little underwhelming – the ‘trees’ look more like little bushes!
