Bolivia Potosi Department Laguna Colorada

Laguna Colorada

A shallow, red-hued salt lake in the Potosi region of Bolivia, known for its vibrant colors and diverse wildlife, including flamingos.

Tips from the community

While it may look like a terrifying crime scene upon first glance, Bolivia’s Laguna Colorada is a shallow salt lake with a strikingly red color due to algae. It’s absolutely the opposite of what we’ve grown up thinking about lakes — and that’s exactly what makes it so damn cool. Not only is it enticing in its unique saturation, it’s also teeming with pink flamingos. Of course, right? It truly looks like a trippy Salvador Dali painting.
