The Sajama National Park is located in the Department of Oruro and borders on the Lauca National Park in Chile. The park captivates with its spectacular mountain landscape, dominated by the glaciated volcanic cones of Sajama (with 6,542m the highest mountain in Bolivia) and the twin volcanoes Pomerape and (6222m) and Parinacota (6348m), A multitude of mountain lakes and high Andean marshlands where lamas, alpacas and vicuñas graze, add to the charm.
Sajama National Park is the first protected area to be established in Bolivia in 1939 due to the Kewiña forests that form the highest forest areas in the world.
The park offers visitors a wide range of attractions. In addition to a rich variety of flora and fauna, special geological features such as thermal springs and geysers, it also offers special cultural features such as multi-colored chullpas (pre-Columbian burial towers), rock paintings as well as colonial architecture and art.

Day 3: Sajama National Park and return to La Paz

Early in the morning you drive to the "Walla Keris" geyser field to see its activity in the cooler morning hours before the sun warms the air and the spectacle appears less impressive.

You can hike from the geyser field (approx. 4400 m) up to the first of three mountain lakes on the Chilean border (at approx. 5000 m altitude). On the way you walk through high-altitude Kewiña forests and see llamas and alpacas. In the late morning, you return to La Paz.
