Such a precious an incredible sight, seeing flamingoes on that altitude and terrain. Freshness of the air and water, lighting, the colourful birds in the largely grey terrain and a bit of green. As if it was yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

True, the Altiplano and its natural wonders are stunningly beautiful. But in particular @IPBES should not reduce this to the #flamingoes, but acknowledge the huge #biodiversity of #microbes and #invertebrates that exist under these extreme environmental conditions.
