Lauca National Park

Chile
Someday we will visit Lauca National Park or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Lauca National Park

Lauca National Park is an 1379 km² protected area in Northern Chile. It's located in the Andean range and is characterized by volcanic mountains. It's also a good place to spot many typically Andean animals, from alpacas and llamas to flamingos and – if you're lucky – condors.

One of the main attractions of the park is the small lacustrine area formed by Chungará and Cotacotani lakes, which lies at the foothills of the Payachata volcanic group. Other majestic volcanoes forming part of the national park are the Guallatiri and the Acotango. Lauca features include archaeological sites, lava fields and volcanic calderas. Within the park is located the town of Parinacota with its colonial church.
