The geological wonder known as Glacier Lagoon in the Andean Cordillera Real is one of the highest lakes in Bolivia and in the world. Where Janq’u Uma (‘white water‘ in Aymara) joins with the slightly higher snowy peak of Illampu into one single massif, one finds the lake, with a glacier spilling between the two peaks and into the lake. At this pristine spot, one can admire both the blue waters of the Lake Titicaca and the humid Yungas jungle at the edge of the Amazon. The glacier itself has receded 164 feet in the past three years, so don’t miss your opportunity to see it in all of its splendor before the march of time and climate change further erode it!
