Laguna Colorada y Laguna Verde, Altiplano

This is a repost, to illustrate a side by side comparison between the two lakes in the Altiplano region of Bolivia.



Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) contains algae and other minerals that gives it a reddish color


Laguna Verde (Green Lagoon) contain copper that gives it a greenish color.  These lakes are in close proximity of each other and located 4,300 meters or 13,000 feet above sea level.
