LAGUNA VERDE (GREEN LAGOON).-
The reserve of the Laguna Verde covers an area of 17kmē and is at an altitude of
4350m. The prominent and intense greenish coloration of the waters is due to a high
content of magnesium.
The mirrored surface of the water sparkles in the brilliant altiplano light, appearing as a
giant emerald on the surface of the plain, and the singular shine of the green lagoon in
the afternoon sunlight can be blinding. From here one can observe the imposing beauty
of the Licancahur volcano which rises from the beaches of the lagoon to a height of
5865m.
