Eduardo Avaora Andean Fauna National Reserve, Laguna Colorada, Potosi Department, Bolivia

The White Colour, despite the lagoon's proximity to the salt flats, is actually borax. The red colour is caused by algae in the lake which blooms when hit by sun light and is the cause of the pink colour of the James flamingos, often seen in the area.
