Sol de Mañana (Morning Sun) is a high-altitude (4,900m) geothermal field in southwest Bolivia, noted for intense volcanic activity, bubbling mud pools, and sulfurous fumaroles. Located near Laguna Colorada, it features intense steam geysers erupting up to 50m.
Laguna Verde is a stunning high-altitude salt lake set against the Licancabur volcano, is famed for its emerald-green color, caused by mineral sediments of arsenic, magnesium, and calcium.

To end the day, we returned to Laguna Colorado. The striking red color is primarily caused by a combination of high salinity, intense sunlight, and the presence of pigmented algae (mainly Dunaliella salina) that thrive in the mineral-rich waters. Shallow depths and red sediments, along with white borax islands, create a vibrant contrast.
