It will be an early start as you drive to Lauca National Park at an elevation of 4,550 metres. Along the way, you'll notice the changes in landscapes from a high altitude steppe to a bogland with lush vegetation. You'll appreciate the emerald green Cotacotani Lagoon and Chungara Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world located at 4,517 metres.
