The Altiplano (Spanish for "high plain"), Andean Plateau or Bolivian Plateau, in west-central South America, where the Andes are at their widest, is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet. The bulk of the Altiplano lies within Bolivian and Peruvian territory while its southern parts lie in Chile and Argentina.
The Altiplano plateau hosts several cities like El Alto, La Paz, Puno, Oruro, Potosí, and Cuzco. The northeastern Altiplano is more humid than the southwestern, the latter of which hosts several salares, or salt flats, due to its aridity. At the Bolivia-Peru border lies Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America.
The Altiplano was the site of several Pre-Columbian cultures including the Tiawanaku and the Inca Empire. Spain conquered the region in the 16th century.
Major economic activities in the Altiplano include mining, llama and vicuña herding, and services in the cities. There is a fair amount of international tourism.

We did a 2000-km long car road loop in the southern part of Altiplano region, Argentina, starting in Córdoba, and going way up north across barren mountainous landscapes, scattered settlements, lonesome volcanoes and endless salt flats. Altiplano is a special part of the world, indeed, and definitely one of the most amazing landscapes on the Earth.
Here, we were driving from the lovely settlement of Belén to the remote village of Antofagasta de la Sierra, passing remote and eerie high altitude landscapes of the Argentinian Altiplano.
Back home after reminiscing through my archive of travel photos! The glorious British summer - sunny periods and heavy showers! Rainbow over the Exe Estuary from Starcross, Devon.

This was taken yesterday and the weather was bright and very warm. The good weather highlights the colours. However, the photo I took today has dark dull colours representing the bleak weather.
