These castles represent the development and evolution of the Evangelical Church of Jesus, which rose in the 17th and 18th centuries. This specially protected area is only accessible to the local indigenous population, so only local people have the right to enjoy the large-scale political and religious independence movement. The existence of these missionaries is a unique proof of the significant social and cultural progress activities that have taken place here.
2Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon)Corolada lake, also known as “Red Lake”, is located southwest of the altiplano plateau. There are many borax islands in the lake. The white of these islands and the reddish color of the Red Lake are cleverly matched to form beautiful scenery. The red color of Red Lake is due to the contrast of some red sediments and algae in the lake. In addition, because the lake water is rich in sodium, magnesium, borax, gypsum, and other substances, some plankton has been well-grown, so the whole lake water is stained with a light red color.
The red and white lake is like an oil painting. The red and white paintings are both abstract and subtle, and people have to sign the magic of nature. Red Lake is also the habitat of flamingos. The algae in the lake provide abundant food for the rare James flamingos, Chilean flamingos, and Andean flamingos, so they will make nests by the lake. There are only 50000 James flamingos in the world, of which 30000 live here every summer. In addition, more than 50 other birds also live in Red Lake.

14Cementerio de trenesMany obsolete locomotives and carriages are concentrated in this wasteland, which is called the railway graveyard. Such a tourism development project is still insightful.

And you can climb up and down willfully and wear clothes everywhere. You are very happy. This is also a place where you can take all kinds of nostalgic films.
At the end of the 19th century, the British built a railway to South America to transport silver and salt mines, which were opposed to and destroyed by the local people. Later, the old train was abandoned and thrown into a vacant land 3 kilometers away from the town. Now, these rusty giants have formed a “train cemetery” and become a landscape on the Uyuni salt beach.
15Valle de la LunaThis is a naturally formed canyon. The landform is very similar to Flame Mountain in China. There are no plants, just like on the moon. So it’s called Moon Valley.
Looking from afar, there are all kinds of volcanic rocks that have been weathered for hundreds of years. The most famous is the bald eagle stone which is “ready to fly”. The guide gave us 20 minutes to take pictures. We shuttle back and forth among the strange stones, looking for the most suitable angle and the most interesting stones, giving full play to our imagination, and leaving the best memories in this natural labyrinth.
16Sol,Isla del;Isla de TiticacaIt is recommended to stay one night on Sun Island and enjoy the sunny day and sunrise and sunset of Lake Titicaca. How beautiful is Sun Island?

17Iglesia de San FranciscoSan Francisco Church is located on San Francisco square in the center of La Paz. It was built in 1548. In 1610, a snowstorm collapsed the church.

The second floor of the church is a museum. From the bell tower, you can overlook the nearby city scene and the distant mountain scenery. It’s close to the witch market.
18Isla IncahuasiCactus island was originally a high mountain. The earth’s crust has changed dramatically, and her neighbor has gone from mountain to lake for tens of thousands of years. The mountain is gradually submerged in this vast white salt marsh, and the peak finally becomes an island.
Standing on the top of the mountain formed tens of thousands of years ago, you can see the boundless blank and suddenly connect with the ancient world. Tens of thousands of years of clouds and clouds are changing in the air. The witnesses are various giant cacti with a height of more than ten meters on the island. Some are standing tall and independent, some are intertwined, and some are wrapped around the stems.
19Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National ReserveOn the cold and biting mountain, the geyser gushes out, making a “Yiyi” sound. The white steam pours on the face and warms the whole body.
Next to the geyser is a volcanic vent. There are dozens of air holes here, large and small, and a strong smell of sulfur comes to the nose. The temperature of the volcanic steam is much higher than that of the geyser, about 200 degrees. Therefore, do not go too close to the vent hole, or you will be severely scalded. There are also signboards beside the scenic spot to remind tourists to stay away from the crater.
As the sun rises in the East, the snow-capped mountains are covered with gold
We came to Lake polks when the sun was high. There are natural volcanic hot springs here. The price is so cheap that it is only 6 Glass coins even for the toilet. We went to the bathroom door to buy tickets, went to the dressing room next to the hot spring, put on the bathing suit prepared in the morning, and went into the water. The water temperature of 30 ° C was just right. We immediately warmed our frozen bodies, and the blood was full in place.
The bottom of the hot spring is black gravel, which is very comfortable to step on. Lean against the pool, put on sunglasses, soak in the hot spring quietly, relieve the body stiffness from fatigue and low temperature, and chat with international friends, not to mention how comfortable it is.
We crossed the El Salvador Dali desert, named after its scenery and Dali’s Surrealist style. On the hills covered with sand and stones, scattered stones are distributed among them, highlighting the sense of loneliness and vicissitudes.
